+Part III - Debug drivers use of the DMA-API
+-------------------------------------------
+
+The DMA-API as described above as some constraints. DMA addresses must be
+released with the corresponding function with the same size for example. With
+the advent of hardware IOMMUs it becomes more and more important that drivers
+do not violate those constraints. In the worst case such a violation can
+result in data corruption up to destroyed filesystems.
+
+To debug drivers and find bugs in the usage of the DMA-API checking code can
+be compiled into the kernel which will tell the developer about those
+violations. If your architecture supports it you can select the "Enable
+debugging of DMA-API usage" option in your kernel configuration. Enabling this
+option has a performance impact. Do not enable it in production kernels.
+
+If you boot the resulting kernel will contain code which does some bookkeeping
+about what DMA memory was allocated for which device. If this code detects an
+error it prints a warning message with some details into your kernel log. An
+example warning message may look like this:
+

+The driver developer can find the driver and the device including a stacktrace
+of the DMA-API call which caused this warning.
+
+Per default only the first error will result in a warning message. All other
+errors will only silently counted. This limitation exist to prevent the code
+from flooding your kernel log. To support debugging a device driver this can
+be disabled via debugfs. See the debugfs interface documentation below for
+details.
+
+The debugfs directory for the DMA-API debugging code is called dma-api/. In
+this directory the following files can currently be found:
+
+ dma-api/all_errors This file contains a numeric value. If this
+ value is not equal to zero the debugging code
+ will print a warning for every error it finds
+ into the kernel log. Be carefull with this
+ option. It can easily flood your logs.
+
+ dma-api/disabled This read-only file contains the character 'Y'
+ if the debugging code is disabled. This can
+ happen when it runs out of memory or if it was
+ disabled at boot time
+
+ dma-api/error_count This file is read-only and shows the total
+ numbers of errors found.
+
+ dma-api/num_errors The number in this file shows how many
+ warnings will be printed to the kernel log
+ before it stops. This number is initialized to
+ one at system boot and be set by writing into
+ this file
+
+ dma-api/min_free_entries
+ This read-only file can be read to get the
+ minimum number of free dma_debug_entries the
+ allocator has ever seen. If this value goes
+ down to zero the code will disable itself
+ because it is not longer reliable.
+
+ dma-api/num_free_entries
+ The current number of free dma_debug_entries
+ in the allocator.
+
+If you have this code compiled into your kernel it will be enabled by default.
+If you want to boot without the bookkeeping anyway you can provide
+'dma_debug=off' as a boot parameter. This will disable DMA-API debugging.
+Notice that you can not enable it again at runtime. You have to reboot to do
+so.
+
+When the code disables itself at runtime this is most likely because it ran
+out of dma_debug_entries. These entries are preallocated at boot. The number
+of preallocated entries is defined per architecture. If it is too low for you
+boot with 'dma_debug_entries=<your_desired_number>' to overwrite the
+architectural default.

1. About this guide
-This guide describes the basics of Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI),
-the advantages of using MSI over traditional interrupt mechanisms,
-and how to enable your driver to use MSI or MSI-X. Also included is
-a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section.
-
-1.1 Terminology
-
-PCI devices can be single-function or multi-function. In either case,
-when this text talks about enabling or disabling MSI on a "device
-function," it is referring to one specific PCI device and function and
-not to all functions on a PCI device (unless the PCI device has only
-one function).
-
-2. Copyright 2003 Intel Corporation
-
-3. What is MSI/MSI-X?
-
-Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI), as described in the PCI Local Bus
-Specification Revision 2.3 or later, is an optional feature, and a
-required feature for PCI Express devices. MSI enables a device function
-to request service by sending an Inbound Memory Write on its PCI bus to
-the FSB as a Message Signal Interrupt transaction. Because MSI is
-generated in the form of a Memory Write, all transaction conditions,
-such as a Retry, Master-Abort, Target-Abort or normal completion, are
-supported.
-
-A PCI device that supports MSI must also support pin IRQ assertion
-interrupt mechanism to provide backward compatibility for systems that
-do not support MSI. In systems which support MSI, the bus driver is
-responsible for initializing the message address and message data of
-the device function's MSI/MSI-X capability structure during device
-initial configuration.
-
-An MSI capable device function indicates MSI support by implementing
-the MSI/MSI-X capability structure in its PCI capability list. The
-device function may implement both the MSI capability structure and
-the MSI-X capability structure; however, the bus driver should not
-enable both.
-
-The MSI capability structure contains Message Control register,
-Message Address register and Message Data register. These registers
-provide the bus driver control over MSI. The Message Control register
-indicates the MSI capability supported by the device. The Message
-Address register specifies the target address and the Message Data
-register specifies the characteristics of the message. To request
-service, the device function writes the content of the Message Data
-register to the target address. The device and its software driver
-are prohibited from writing to these registers.
-
-The MSI-X capability structure is an optional extension to MSI. It
-uses an independent and separate capability structure. There are
-some key advantages to implementing the MSI-X capability structure
-over the MSI capability structure as described below.
-
- - Support a larger maximum number of vectors per function.
-
- - Provide the ability for system software to configure
- each vector with an independent message address and message
- data, specified by a table that resides in Memory Space.
-
- - MSI and MSI-X both support per-vector masking. Per-vector
- masking is an optional extension of MSI but a required
- feature for MSI-X. Per-vector masking provides the kernel the
- ability to mask/unmask a single MSI while running its
- interrupt service routine. If per-vector masking is
- not supported, then the device driver should provide the
- hardware/software synchronization to ensure that the device
- generates MSI when the driver wants it to do so.
-
-4. Why use MSI?
-
-As a benefit to the simplification of board design, MSI allows board
-designers to remove out-of-band interrupt routing. MSI is another
-step towards a legacy-free environment.
-
-Due to increasing pressure on chipset and processor packages to
-reduce pin count, the need for interrupt pins is expected to
-diminish over time. Devices, due to pin constraints, may implement
-messages to increase performance.
-
-PCI Express endpoints uses INTx emulation (in-band messages) instead
-of IRQ pin assertion. Using INTx emulation requires interrupt
-sharing among devices connected to the same node (PCI bridge) while
-MSI is unique (non-shared) and does not require BIOS configuration
-support. As a result, the PCI Express technology requires MSI
-support for better interrupt performance.
-
-Using MSI enables the device functions to support two or more
-vectors, which can be configured to target different CPUs to
-increase scalability.
-
-5. Configuring a driver to use MSI/MSI-X
-
-By default, the kernel will not enable MSI/MSI-X on all devices that
-support this capability. The CONFIG_PCI_MSI kernel option
-must be selected to enable MSI/MSI-X support.
-
-5.1 Including MSI/MSI-X support into the kernel
-
-To allow MSI/MSI-X capable device drivers to selectively enable
-MSI/MSI-X (using pci_enable_msi()/pci_enable_msix() as described
-below), the VECTOR based scheme needs to be enabled by setting
-CONFIG_PCI_MSI during kernel config.
-
-Since the target of the inbound message is the local APIC, providing
-CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC must be enabled as well as CONFIG_PCI_MSI.
-
-5.2 Configuring for MSI support
-
-Due to the non-contiguous fashion in vector assignment of the
-existing Linux kernel, this version does not support multiple
-messages regardless of a device function is capable of supporting
-more than one vector. To enable MSI on a device function's MSI
-capability structure requires a device driver to call the function
-pci_enable_msi() explicitly.
-
-5.2.1 API pci_enable_msi
+This guide describes the basics of Message Signaled Interrupts (MSIs),
+the advantages of using MSI over traditional interrupt mechanisms, how
+to change your driver to use MSI or MSI-X and some basic diagnostics to
+try if a device doesn't support MSIs.
-int pci_enable_msi(struct pci_dev *dev)
-With this new API, a device driver that wants to have MSI
-enabled on its device function must call this API to enable MSI.
-A successful call will initialize the MSI capability structure
-with ONE vector, regardless of whether a device function is
-capable of supporting multiple messages. This vector replaces the
-pre-assigned dev->irq with a new MSI vector. To avoid a conflict
-of the new assigned vector with existing pre-assigned vector requires
-a device driver to call this API before calling request_irq().
+2. What are MSIs?
-5.2.2 API pci_disable_msi
+A Message Signaled Interrupt is a write from the device to a special
+address which causes an interrupt to be received by the CPU.
-void pci_disable_msi(struct pci_dev *dev)
+The MSI capability was first specified in PCI 2.2 and was later enhanced
+in PCI 3.0 to allow each interrupt to be masked individually. The MSI-X
+capability was also introduced with PCI 3.0. It supports more interrupts
+per device than MSI and allows interrupts to be independently configured.
-This API should always be used to undo the effect of pci_enable_msi()
-when a device driver is unloading. This API restores dev->irq with
-the pre-assigned IOAPIC vector and switches a device's interrupt
-mode to PCI pin-irq assertion/INTx emulation mode.
-
-Note that a device driver should always call free_irq() on the MSI vector
-that it has done request_irq() on before calling this API. Failure to do
-so results in a BUG_ON() and a device will be left with MSI enabled and
-leaks its vector.
-
-5.2.3 MSI mode vs. legacy mode diagram
-
-The below diagram shows the events which switch the interrupt
-mode on the MSI-capable device function between MSI mode and
-PIN-IRQ assertion mode.
-
- ------------ pci_enable_msi ------------------------
- | | <=============== | |
- | MSI MODE | | PIN-IRQ ASSERTION MODE |
- | | ===============> | |
- ------------ pci_disable_msi ------------------------
-
-
-Figure 1. MSI Mode vs. Legacy Mode
-
-In Figure 1, a device operates by default in legacy mode. Legacy
-in this context means PCI pin-irq assertion or PCI-Express INTx
-emulation. A successful MSI request (using pci_enable_msi()) switches
-a device's interrupt mode to MSI mode. A pre-assigned IOAPIC vector
-stored in dev->irq will be saved by the PCI subsystem and a new
-assigned MSI vector will replace dev->irq.
-
-To return back to its default mode, a device driver should always call
-pci_disable_msi() to undo the effect of pci_enable_msi(). Note that a
-device driver should always call free_irq() on the MSI vector it has
-done request_irq() on before calling pci_disable_msi(). Failure to do
-so results in a BUG_ON() and a device will be left with MSI enabled and
-leaks its vector. Otherwise, the PCI subsystem restores a device's
-dev->irq with a pre-assigned IOAPIC vector and marks the released
-MSI vector as unused.
-
-Once being marked as unused, there is no guarantee that the PCI
-subsystem will reserve this MSI vector for a device. Depending on
-the availability of current PCI vector resources and the number of
-MSI/MSI-X requests from other drivers, this MSI may be re-assigned.
-
-For the case where the PCI subsystem re-assigns this MSI vector to
-another driver, a request to switch back to MSI mode may result
-in being assigned a different MSI vector or a failure if no more
-vectors are available.
-
-5.3 Configuring for MSI-X support
-
-Due to the ability of the system software to configure each vector of
-the MSI-X capability structure with an independent message address
-and message data, the non-contiguous fashion in vector assignment of
-the existing Linux kernel has no impact on supporting multiple
-messages on an MSI-X capable device functions. To enable MSI-X on
-a device function's MSI-X capability structure requires its device
-driver to call the function pci_enable_msix() explicitly.
-
-The function pci_enable_msix(), once invoked, enables either
-all or nothing, depending on the current availability of PCI vector
-resources. If the PCI vector resources are available for the number
-of vectors requested by a device driver, this function will configure
-the MSI-X table of the MSI-X capability structure of a device with
-requested messages. To emphasize this reason, for example, a device
-may be capable for supporting the maximum of 32 vectors while its
-software driver usually may request 4 vectors. It is recommended
-that the device driver should call this function once during the
-initialization phase of the device driver.
-
-Unlike the function pci_enable_msi(), the function pci_enable_msix()
-does not replace the pre-assigned IOAPIC dev->irq with a new MSI
-vector because the PCI subsystem writes the 1:1 vector-to-entry mapping
-into the field vector of each element contained in a second argument.
-Note that the pre-assigned IOAPIC dev->irq is valid only if the device
-operates in PIN-IRQ assertion mode. In MSI-X mode, any attempt at
-using dev->irq by the device driver to request for interrupt service
-may result in unpredictable behavior.
-
-For each MSI-X vector granted, a device driver is responsible for calling
-other functions like request_irq(), enable_irq(), etc. to enable
-this vector with its corresponding interrupt service handler. It is
-a device driver's choice to assign all vectors with the same
-interrupt service handler or each vector with a unique interrupt
-service handler.
-
-5.3.1 Handling MMIO address space of MSI-X Table
-
-The PCI 3.0 specification has implementation notes that MMIO address
-space for a device's MSI-X structure should be isolated so that the
-software system can set different pages for controlling accesses to the
-MSI-X structure. The implementation of MSI support requires the PCI
-subsystem, not a device driver, to maintain full control of the MSI-X
-table/MSI-X PBA (Pending Bit Array) and MMIO address space of the MSI-X
-table/MSI-X PBA. A device driver should not access the MMIO address
-space of the MSI-X table/MSI-X PBA.
-
-5.3.2 API pci_enable_msix
+Devices may support both MSI and MSI-X, but only one can be enabled at
+a time.
-int pci_enable_msix(struct pci_dev *dev, struct msix_entry *entries, int nvec)
-This API enables a device driver to request the PCI subsystem
-to enable MSI-X messages on its hardware device. Depending on
-the availability of PCI vectors resources, the PCI subsystem enables
-either all or none of the requested vectors.
+3. Why use MSIs?
+
+There are three reasons why using MSIs can give an advantage over
+traditional pin-based interrupts.
+
+Pin-based PCI interrupts are often shared amongst several devices.
+To support this, the kernel must call each interrupt handler associated
+with an interrupt, which leads to reduced performance for the system as
+a whole. MSIs are never shared, so this problem cannot arise.
+
+When a device writes data to memory, then raises a pin-based interrupt,
+it is possible that the interrupt may arrive before all the data has
+arrived in memory (this becomes more likely with devices behind PCI-PCI
+bridges). In order to ensure that all the data has arrived in memory,
+the interrupt handler must read a register on the device which raised
+the interrupt. PCI transaction ordering rules require that all the data
+arrives in memory before the value can be returned from the register.
+Using MSIs avoids this problem as the interrupt-generating write cannot
+pass the data writes, so by the time the interrupt is raised, the driver
+knows that all the data has arrived in memory.
+
+PCI devices can only support a single pin-based interrupt per function.
+Often drivers have to query the device to find out what event has
+occurred, slowing down interrupt handling for the common case. With
+MSIs, a device can support more interrupts, allowing each interrupt
+to be specialised to a different purpose. One possible design gives
+infrequent conditions (such as errors) their own interrupt which allows
+the driver to handle the normal interrupt handling path more efficiently.
+Other possible designs include giving one interrupt to each packet queue
+in a network card or each port in a storage controller.
+
+
+4. How to use MSIs
+
+PCI devices are initialised to use pin-based interrupts. The device
+driver has to set up the device to use MSI or MSI-X. Not all machines
+support MSIs correctly, and for those machines, the APIs described below
+will simply fail and the device will continue to use pin-based interrupts.
+
+4.1 Include kernel support for MSIs
+
+To support MSI or MSI-X, the kernel must be built with the CONFIG_PCI_MSI
+option enabled. This option is only available on some architectures,
+and it may depend on some other options also being set. For example,
+on x86, you must also enable X86_UP_APIC or SMP in order to see the
+CONFIG_PCI_MSI option.
+
+4.2 Using MSI
+
+Most of the hard work is done for the driver in the PCI layer. It simply
+has to request that the PCI layer set up the MSI capability for this
+device.
+
+4.2.1 pci_enable_msi
+
+int pci_enable_msi(struct pci_dev *dev)
+
+A successful call will allocate ONE interrupt to the device, regardless
+of how many MSIs the device supports. The device will be switched from
+pin-based interrupt mode to MSI mode. The dev->irq number is changed
+to a new number which represents the message signaled interrupt.
+This function should be called before the driver calls request_irq()
+since enabling MSIs disables the pin-based IRQ and the driver will not
+receive interrupts on the old interrupt.
+
+4.2.2 pci_enable_msi_block
+
+int pci_enable_msi_block(struct pci_dev *dev, int count)
+
+This variation on the above call allows a device driver to request multiple
+MSIs. The MSI specification only allows interrupts to be allocated in
+powers of two, up to a maximum of 2^5 (32).
+
+If this function returns 0, it has succeeded in allocating at least as many
+interrupts as the driver requested (it may have allocated more in order
+to satisfy the power-of-two requirement). In this case, the function
+enables MSI on this device and updates dev->irq to be the lowest of
+the new interrupts assigned to it. The other interrupts assigned to
+the device are in the range dev->irq to dev->irq + count - 1.
+
+If this function returns a negative number, it indicates an error and
+the driver should not attempt to request any more MSI interrupts for
+this device. If this function returns a positive number, it will be
+less than 'count' and indicate the number of interrupts that could have
+been allocated. In neither case will the irq value have been
+updated, nor will the device have been switched into MSI mode.
+
+The device driver must decide what action to take if
+pci_enable_msi_block() returns a value less than the number asked for.
+Some devices can make use of fewer interrupts than the maximum they
+request; in this case the driver should call pci_enable_msi_block()
+again. Note that it is not guaranteed to succeed, even when the
+'count' has been reduced to the value returned from a previous call to
+pci_enable_msi_block(). This is because there are multiple constraints
+on the number of vectors that can be allocated; pci_enable_msi_block()
+will return as soon as it finds any constraint that doesn't allow the
+call to succeed.
+
+4.2.3 pci_disable_msi
+
+void pci_disable_msi(struct pci_dev *dev)
-Argument 'dev' points to the device (pci_dev) structure.
+This function should be used to undo the effect of pci_enable_msi() or
+pci_enable_msi_block(). Calling it restores dev->irq to the pin-based
+interrupt number and frees the previously allocated message signaled
+interrupt(s). The interrupt may subsequently be assigned to another
+device, so drivers should not cache the value of dev->irq.
-Argument 'entries' is a pointer to an array of msix_entry structs.
-The number of entries is indicated in argument 'nvec'.
-struct msix_entry is defined in /driver/pci/msi.h:
+A device driver must always call free_irq() on the interrupt(s)
+for which it has called request_irq() before calling this function.
+Failure to do so will result in a BUG_ON(), the device will be left with
+MSI enabled and will leak its vector.
+
+4.3 Using MSI-X
+
+The MSI-X capability is much more flexible than the MSI capability.
+It supports up to 2048 interrupts, each of which can be controlled
+independently. To support this flexibility, drivers must use an array of
+`struct msix_entry':
struct msix_entry {
u16 vector; /* kernel uses to write alloc vector */
u16 entry; /* driver uses to specify entry */
};
-A device driver is responsible for initializing the field 'entry' of
-each element with a unique entry supported by MSI-X table. Otherwise,
--EINVAL will be returned as a result. A successful return of zero
-indicates the PCI subsystem completed initializing each of the requested
-entries of the MSI-X table with message address and message data.
-Last but not least, the PCI subsystem will write the 1:1
-vector-to-entry mapping into the field 'vector' of each element. A
-device driver is responsible for keeping track of allocated MSI-X
-vectors in its internal data structure.
-
-A return of zero indicates that the number of MSI-X vectors was
-successfully allocated. A return of greater than zero indicates
-MSI-X vector shortage. Or a return of less than zero indicates
-a failure. This failure may be a result of duplicate entries
-specified in second argument, or a result of no available vector,
-or a result of failing to initialize MSI-X table entries.
-
-5.3.3 API pci_disable_msix
+This allows for the device to use these interrupts in a sparse fashion;
+for example it could use interrupts 3 and 1027 and allocate only a
+two-element array. The driver is expected to fill in the 'entry' value
+in each element of the array to indicate which entries it wants the kernel
+to assign interrupts for. It is invalid to fill in two entries with the
+same number.
+
+4.3.1 pci_enable_msix
+
+int pci_enable_msix(struct pci_dev *dev, struct msix_entry *entries, int nvec)
+
+Calling this function asks the PCI subsystem to allocate 'nvec' MSIs.
+The 'entries' argument is a pointer to an array of msix_entry structs
+which should be at least 'nvec' entries in size. On success, the
+function will return 0 and the device will have been switched into
+MSI-X interrupt mode. The 'vector' elements in each entry will have
+been filled in with the interrupt number. The driver should then call
+request_irq() for each 'vector' that it decides to use.
+
+If this function returns a negative number, it indicates an error and
+the driver should not attempt to allocate any more MSI-X interrupts for
+this device. If it returns a positive number, it indicates the maximum
+number of interrupt vectors that could have been allocated. See example
+below.
+
+This function, in contrast with pci_enable_msi(), does not adjust
+dev->irq. The device will not generate interrupts for this interrupt
+number once MSI-X is enabled. The device driver is responsible for
+keeping track of the interrupts assigned to the MSI-X vectors so it can
+free them again later.
+
+Device drivers should normally call this function once per device
+during the initialization phase.
+
+It is ideal if drivers can cope with a variable number of MSI-X interrupts,
+there are many reasons why the platform may not be able to provide the
+exact number a driver asks for.
+
+A request loop to achieve that might look like:
+
+static int foo_driver_enable_msix(struct foo_adapter *adapter, int nvec)
+{
+ while (nvec >= FOO_DRIVER_MINIMUM_NVEC) {
+ rc = pci_enable_msix(adapter->pdev,
+ adapter->msix_entries, nvec);
+ if (rc > 0)
+ nvec = rc;
+ else
+ return rc;
+ }
+
+ return -ENOSPC;
+}
+
+4.3.2 pci_disable_msix
void pci_disable_msix(struct pci_dev *dev)
-This API should always be used to undo the effect of pci_enable_msix()
-when a device driver is unloading. Note that a device driver should
-always call free_irq() on all MSI-X vectors it has done request_irq()
-on before calling this API. Failure to do so results in a BUG_ON() and
-a device will be left with MSI-X enabled and leaks its vectors.
-
-5.3.4 MSI-X mode vs. legacy mode diagram
-
-The below diagram shows the events which switch the interrupt
-mode on the MSI-X capable device function between MSI-X mode and
-PIN-IRQ assertion mode (legacy).
-
- ------------ pci_enable_msix(,,n) ------------------------
- | | <=============== | |
- | MSI-X MODE | | PIN-IRQ ASSERTION MODE |
- | | ===============> | |
- ------------ pci_disable_msix ------------------------
-
-Figure 2. MSI-X Mode vs. Legacy Mode
-
-In Figure 2, a device operates by default in legacy mode. A
-successful MSI-X request (using pci_enable_msix()) switches a
-device's interrupt mode to MSI-X mode. A pre-assigned IOAPIC vector
-stored in dev->irq will be saved by the PCI subsystem; however,
-unlike MSI mode, the PCI subsystem will not replace dev->irq with
-assigned MSI-X vector because the PCI subsystem already writes the 1:1
-vector-to-entry mapping into the field 'vector' of each element
-specified in second argument.
-
-To return back to its default mode, a device driver should always call
-pci_disable_msix() to undo the effect of pci_enable_msix(). Note that
-a device driver should always call free_irq() on all MSI-X vectors it
-has done request_irq() on before calling pci_disable_msix(). Failure
-to do so results in a BUG_ON() and a device will be left with MSI-X
-enabled and leaks its vectors. Otherwise, the PCI subsystem switches a
-device function's interrupt mode from MSI-X mode to legacy mode and
-marks all allocated MSI-X vectors as unused.
-
-Once being marked as unused, there is no guarantee that the PCI
-subsystem will reserve these MSI-X vectors for a device. Depending on
-the availability of current PCI vector resources and the number of
-MSI/MSI-X requests from other drivers, these MSI-X vectors may be
-re-assigned.
-
-For the case where the PCI subsystem re-assigned these MSI-X vectors
-to other drivers, a request to switch back to MSI-X mode may result
-being assigned with another set of MSI-X vectors or a failure if no
-more vectors are available.
-
-5.4 Handling function implementing both MSI and MSI-X capabilities
-
-For the case where a function implements both MSI and MSI-X
-capabilities, the PCI subsystem enables a device to run either in MSI
-mode or MSI-X mode but not both. A device driver determines whether it
-wants MSI or MSI-X enabled on its hardware device. Once a device
-driver requests for MSI, for example, it is prohibited from requesting
-MSI-X; in other words, a device driver is not permitted to ping-pong
-between MSI mod MSI-X mode during a run-time.
-
-5.5 Hardware requirements for MSI/MSI-X support
-
-MSI/MSI-X support requires support from both system hardware and
-individual hardware device functions.
-
-5.5.1 Required x86 hardware support
-
-Since the target of MSI address is the local APIC CPU, enabling
-MSI/MSI-X support in the Linux kernel is dependent on whether existing
-system hardware supports local APIC. Users should verify that their
-system supports local APIC operation by testing that it runs when
-CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y.
-
-In SMP environment, CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC is automatically set;
-however, in UP environment, users must manually set
-CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC. Once CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y, setting
-CONFIG_PCI_MSI enables the VECTOR based scheme and the option for
-MSI-capable device drivers to selectively enable MSI/MSI-X.
-
-Note that CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC setting is irrelevant because MSI/MSI-X
-vector is allocated new during runtime and MSI/MSI-X support does not
-depend on BIOS support. This key independency enables MSI/MSI-X
-support on future IOxAPIC free platforms.
-
-5.5.2 Device hardware support
-
-The hardware device function supports MSI by indicating the
-MSI/MSI-X capability structure on its PCI capability list. By
-default, this capability structure will not be initialized by
-the kernel to enable MSI during the system boot. In other words,
-the device function is running on its default pin assertion mode.
-Note that in many cases the hardware supporting MSI have bugs,
-which may result in system hangs. The software driver of specific
-MSI-capable hardware is responsible for deciding whether to call
-pci_enable_msi or not. A return of zero indicates the kernel
-successfully initialized the MSI/MSI-X capability structure of the
-device function. The device function is now running on MSI/MSI-X mode.
-
-5.6 How to tell whether MSI/MSI-X is enabled on device function
-
-At the driver level, a return of zero from the function call of
-pci_enable_msi()/pci_enable_msix() indicates to a device driver that
-its device function is initialized successfully and ready to run in
-MSI/MSI-X mode.
-
-At the user level, users can use the command 'cat /proc/interrupts'
-to display the vectors allocated for devices and their interrupt
-MSI/MSI-X modes ("PCI-MSI"/"PCI-MSI-X"). Below shows MSI mode is
-enabled on a SCSI Adaptec 39320D Ultra320 controller.

-6. MSI quirks
-
-Several PCI chipsets or devices are known to not support MSI.
-The PCI stack provides 3 possible levels of MSI disabling:
-* on a single device
-* on all devices behind a specific bridge
-* globally
-
-6.1. Disabling MSI on a single device
-
-Under some circumstances it might be required to disable MSI on a
-single device. This may be achieved by either not calling pci_enable_msi()
-or all, or setting the pci_dev->no_msi flag before (most of the time
-in a quirk).
-
-6.2. Disabling MSI below a bridge
-
-The vast majority of MSI quirks are required by PCI bridges not
-being able to route MSI between busses. In this case, MSI have to be
-disabled on all devices behind this bridge. It is achieves by setting
-the PCI_BUS_FLAGS_NO_MSI flag in the pci_bus->bus_flags of the bridge
-subordinate bus. There is no need to set the same flag on bridges that
-are below the broken bridge. When pci_enable_msi() is called to enable
-MSI on a device, pci_msi_supported() takes care of checking the NO_MSI
-flag in all parent busses of the device.
-
-Some bridges actually support dynamic MSI support enabling/disabling
-by changing some bits in their PCI configuration space (especially
-the Hypertransport chipsets such as the nVidia nForce and Serverworks
-HT2000). It may then be required to update the NO_MSI flag on the
-corresponding devices in the sysfs hierarchy. To enable MSI support
-on device "0000:00:0e", do:
-
- echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:0e/msi_bus
-
-To disable MSI support, echo 0 instead of 1. Note that it should be
-used with caution since changing this value might break interrupts.
-
-6.3. Disabling MSI globally
-
-Some extreme cases may require to disable MSI globally on the system.
-For now, the only known case is a Serverworks PCI-X chipsets (MSI are
-not supported on several busses that are not all connected to the
-chipset in the Linux PCI hierarchy). In the vast majority of other
-cases, disabling only behind a specific bridge is enough.
-
-For debugging purpose, the user may also pass pci=nomsi on the kernel
-command-line to explicitly disable MSI globally. But, once the appro-
-priate quirks are added to the kernel, this option should not be
-required anymore.
-
-6.4. Finding why MSI cannot be enabled on a device
-
-Assuming that MSI are not enabled on a device, you should look at
-dmesg to find messages that quirks may output when disabling MSI
-on some devices, some bridges or even globally.
-Then, lspci -t gives the list of bridges above a device. Reading
-/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:0e/msi_bus will tell you whether MSI
-are enabled (1) or disabled (0). In 0 is found in a single bridge
-msi_bus file above the device, MSI cannot be enabled.
-
-7. FAQ
-
-Q1. Are there any limitations on using the MSI?
-
-A1. If the PCI device supports MSI and conforms to the
-specification and the platform supports the APIC local bus,
-then using MSI should work.
-
-Q2. Will it work on all the Pentium processors (P3, P4, Xeon,
-AMD processors)? In P3 IPI's are transmitted on the APIC local
-bus and in P4 and Xeon they are transmitted on the system
-bus. Are there any implications with this?
-
-A2. MSI support enables a PCI device sending an inbound
-memory write (0xfeexxxxx as target address) on its PCI bus
-directly to the FSB. Since the message address has a
-redirection hint bit cleared, it should work.
-
-Q3. The target address 0xfeexxxxx will be translated by the
-Host Bridge into an interrupt message. Are there any
-limitations on the chipsets such as Intel 8xx, Intel e7xxx,
-or VIA?
-
-A3. If these chipsets support an inbound memory write with
-target address set as 0xfeexxxxx, as conformed to PCI
-specification 2.3 or latest, then it should work.
-
-Q4. From the driver point of view, if the MSI is lost because
-of errors occurring during inbound memory write, then it may
-wait forever. Is there a mechanism for it to recover?
-
-A4. Since the target of the transaction is an inbound memory
-write, all transaction termination conditions (Retry,
-Master-Abort, Target-Abort, or normal completion) are
-supported. A device sending an MSI must abide by all the PCI
-rules and conditions regarding that inbound memory write. So,
-if a retry is signaled it must retry, etc... We believe that
-the recommendation for Abort is also a retry (refer to PCI
-specification 2.3 or latest).
+This API should be used to undo the effect of pci_enable_msix(). It frees
+the previously allocated message signaled interrupts. The interrupts may
+subsequently be assigned to another device, so drivers should not cache
+the value of the 'vector' elements over a call to pci_disable_msix().
+
+A device driver must always call free_irq() on the interrupt(s)
+for which it has called request_irq() before calling this function.
+Failure to do so will result in a BUG_ON(), the device will be left with
+MSI enabled and will leak its vector.
+
+4.3.3 The MSI-X Table
+
+The MSI-X capability specifies a BAR and offset within that BAR for the
+MSI-X Table. This address is mapped by the PCI subsystem, and should not
+be accessed directly by the device driver. If the driver wishes to
+mask or unmask an interrupt, it should call disable_irq() / enable_irq().
+
+4.4 Handling devices implementing both MSI and MSI-X capabilities
+
+If a device implements both MSI and MSI-X capabilities, it can
+run in either MSI mode or MSI-X mode but not both simultaneously.
+This is a requirement of the PCI spec, and it is enforced by the
+PCI layer. Calling pci_enable_msi() when MSI-X is already enabled or
+pci_enable_msix() when MSI is already enabled will result in an error.
+If a device driver wishes to switch between MSI and MSI-X at runtime,
+it must first quiesce the device, then switch it back to pin-interrupt
+mode, before calling pci_enable_msi() or pci_enable_msix() and resuming
+operation. This is not expected to be a common operation but may be
+useful for debugging or testing during development.
+
+4.5 Considerations when using MSIs
+
+4.5.1 Choosing between MSI-X and MSI
+
+If your device supports both MSI-X and MSI capabilities, you should use
+the MSI-X facilities in preference to the MSI facilities. As mentioned
+above, MSI-X supports any number of interrupts between 1 and 2048.
+In constrast, MSI is restricted to a maximum of 32 interrupts (and
+must be a power of two). In addition, the MSI interrupt vectors must
+be allocated consecutively, so the system may not be able to allocate
+as many vectors for MSI as it could for MSI-X. On some platforms, MSI
+interrupts must all be targetted at the same set of CPUs whereas MSI-X
+interrupts can all be targetted at different CPUs.
+
+4.5.2 Spinlocks
+
+Most device drivers have a per-device spinlock which is taken in the
+interrupt handler. With pin-based interrupts or a single MSI, it is not
+necessary to disable interrupts (Linux guarantees the same interrupt will
+not be re-entered). If a device uses multiple interrupts, the driver
+must disable interrupts while the lock is held. If the device sends
+a different interrupt, the driver will deadlock trying to recursively
+acquire the spinlock.
+
+There are two solutions. The first is to take the lock with
+spin_lock_irqsave() or spin_lock_irq() (see
+Documentation/DocBook/kernel-locking). The second is to specify
+IRQF_DISABLED to request_irq() so that the kernel runs the entire
+interrupt routine with interrupts disabled.
+
+If your MSI interrupt routine does not hold the lock for the whole time
+it is running, the first solution may be best. The second solution is
+normally preferred as it avoids making two transitions from interrupt
+disabled to enabled and back again.
+
+4.6 How to tell whether MSI/MSI-X is enabled on a device
+
+Using 'lspci -v' (as root) may show some devices with "MSI", "Message
+Signalled Interrupts" or "MSI-X" capabilities. Each of these capabilities
+has an 'Enable' flag which will be followed with either "+" (enabled)
+or "-" (disabled).
+
+
+5. MSI quirks
+
+Several PCI chipsets or devices are known not to support MSIs.
+The PCI stack provides three ways to disable MSIs:
+
+1. globally
+2. on all devices behind a specific bridge
+3. on a single device
+
+5.1. Disabling MSIs globally
+
+Some host chipsets simply don't support MSIs properly. If we're
+lucky, the manufacturer knows this and has indicated it in the ACPI
+FADT table. In this case, Linux will automatically disable MSIs.
+Some boards don't include this information in the table and so we have
+to detect them ourselves. The complete list of these is found near the
+quirk_disable_all_msi() function in drivers/pci/quirks.c.
+
+If you have a board which has problems with MSIs, you can pass pci=nomsi
+on the kernel command line to disable MSIs on all devices. It would be
+in your best interests to report the problem to linux-pci@vger.kernel.org
+including a full 'lspci -v' so we can add the quirks to the kernel.
+
+5.2. Disabling MSIs below a bridge
+
+Some PCI bridges are not able to route MSIs between busses properly.
+In this case, MSIs must be disabled on all devices behind the bridge.
+
+Some bridges allow you to enable MSIs by changing some bits in their
+PCI configuration space (especially the Hypertransport chipsets such
+as the nVidia nForce and Serverworks HT2000). As with host chipsets,
+Linux mostly knows about them and automatically enables MSIs if it can.
+If you have a bridge which Linux doesn't yet know about, you can enable
+MSIs in configuration space using whatever method you know works, then
+enable MSIs on that bridge by doing:
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/$bridge/msi_bus
+
+where $bridge is the PCI address of the bridge you've enabled (eg
+0000:00:0e.0).
+
+To disable MSIs, echo 0 instead of 1. Changing this value should be
+done with caution as it can break interrupt handling for all devices
+below this bridge.
+
+Again, please notify linux-pci@vger.kernel.org of any bridges that need
+special handling.
+
+5.3. Disabling MSIs on a single device
+
+Some devices are known to have faulty MSI implementations. Usually this
+is handled in the individual device driver but occasionally it's necessary
+to handle this with a quirk. Some drivers have an option to disable use
+of MSI. While this is a convenient workaround for the driver author,
+it is not good practise, and should not be emulated.
+
+5.4. Finding why MSIs are disabled on a device
+
+From the above three sections, you can see that there are many reasons
+why MSIs may not be enabled for a given device. Your first step should
+be to examine your dmesg carefully to determine whether MSIs are enabled
+for your machine. You should also check your .config to be sure you
+have enabled CONFIG_PCI_MSI.
+
+Then, 'lspci -t' gives the list of bridges above a device. Reading
+/sys/bus/pci/devices/*/msi_bus will tell you whether MSI are enabled (1)
+or disabled (0). If 0 is found in any of the msi_bus files belonging
+to bridges between the PCI root and the device, MSIs are disabled.
+
+It is also worth checking the device driver to see whether it supports MSIs.
+For example, it may contain calls to pci_enable_msi(), pci_enable_msix() or
+pci_enable_msi_block().

+
+
+1. Overview
+
+1.1 What is SR-IOV
+
+Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) is a PCI Express Extended
+capability which makes one physical device appear as multiple virtual
+devices. The physical device is referred to as Physical Function (PF)
+while the virtual devices are referred to as Virtual Functions (VF).
+Allocation of the VF can be dynamically controlled by the PF via
+registers encapsulated in the capability. By default, this feature is
+not enabled and the PF behaves as traditional PCIe device. Once it's
+turned on, each VF's PCI configuration space can be accessed by its own
+Bus, Device and Function Number (Routing ID). And each VF also has PCI
+Memory Space, which is used to map its register set. VF device driver
+operates on the register set so it can be functional and appear as a
+real existing PCI device.
+
+2. User Guide
+
+2.1 How can I enable SR-IOV capability
+
+The device driver (PF driver) will control the enabling and disabling
+of the capability via API provided by SR-IOV core. If the hardware
+has SR-IOV capability, loading its PF driver would enable it and all
+VFs associated with the PF.
+
+2.2 How can I use the Virtual Functions
+
+The VF is treated as hot-plugged PCI devices in the kernel, so they
+should be able to work in the same way as real PCI devices. The VF
+requires device driver that is same as a normal PCI device's.
+
+3. Developer Guide
+
+3.1 SR-IOV API
+
+To enable SR-IOV capability:
+ int pci_enable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev, int nr_virtfn);
+ 'nr_virtfn' is number of VFs to be enabled.
+
+To disable SR-IOV capability:
+ void pci_disable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev);
+
+To notify SR-IOV core of Virtual Function Migration:
+ irqreturn_t pci_sriov_migration(struct pci_dev *dev);
+
+3.2 Usage example
+
+Following piece of code illustrates the usage of the SR-IOV API.

+Smack Netlabel Exceptions
+
+You will often find that your labeled application has to talk to the outside,
+unlabeled world. To do this there's a special file /smack/netlabel where you can
+add some exceptions in the form of :
+@IP1 LABEL1 or
+@IP2/MASK LABEL2
+
+It means that your application will have unlabeled access to @IP1 if it has
+write access on LABEL1, and access to the subnet @IP2/MASK if it has write
+access on LABEL2.
+
+Entries in the /smack/netlabel file are matched by longest mask first, like in
+classless IPv4 routing.
+
+A special label '@' and an option '-CIPSO' can be used there :
+@ means Internet, any application with any label has access to it
+-CIPSO means standard CIPSO networking
+
+If you don't know what CIPSO is and don't plan to use it, you can just do :

+If you use CIPSO on your 192.168.0.0/16 local network and need also unlabeled

+Introduction
+============
+
+This document describes how to use the dynamic debug (ddebug) feature.
+
+Dynamic debug is designed to allow you to dynamically enable/disable kernel
+code to obtain additional kernel information. Currently, if
+CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is set, then all pr_debug()/dev_debug() calls can be
+dynamically enabled per-callsite.
+
+Dynamic debug has even more useful features:
+
+ * Simple query language allows turning on and off debugging statements by
+ matching any combination of:
+
+ - source filename
+ - function name
+ - line number (including ranges of line numbers)
+ - module name
+ - format string
+
+ * Provides a debugfs control file: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control which can be
+ read to display the complete list of known debug statements, to help guide you
+
+Controlling dynamic debug Behaviour
+===============================
+
+The behaviour of pr_debug()/dev_debug()s are controlled via writing to a
+control file in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, you must first mount the debugfs
+filesystem, in order to make use of this feature. Subsequently, we refer to the
+control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. For example, if you want to
+enable printing from source file 'svcsock.c', line 1603 you simply do:
+
+nullarbor:~ # echo 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
+ <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
+
+If you make a mistake with the syntax, the write will fail thus:
+
+nullarbor:~ # echo 'file svcsock.c wtf 1 +p' >
+ <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
+-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
+
+Viewing Dynamic Debug Behaviour
+===========================
+
+You can view the currently configured behaviour of all the debug statements
+via:
+
+nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
+# filename:lineno [module]function flags format
+/usr/src/packages/BUILD/sgi-enhancednfs-1.4/default/net/sunrpc/svc_rdma.c:323 [svcxprt_rdma]svc_rdma_cleanup - "SVCRDMA Module Removed, deregister RPC RDMA transport\012"
+/usr/src/packages/BUILD/sgi-enhancednfs-1.4/default/net/sunrpc/svc_rdma.c:341 [svcxprt_rdma]svc_rdma_init - "\011max_inline : %d\012"
+/usr/src/packages/BUILD/sgi-enhancednfs-1.4/default/net/sunrpc/svc_rdma.c:340 [svcxprt_rdma]svc_rdma_init - "\011sq_depth : %d\012"
+/usr/src/packages/BUILD/sgi-enhancednfs-1.4/default/net/sunrpc/svc_rdma.c:338 [svcxprt_rdma]svc_rdma_init - "\011max_requests : %d\012"
+...
+
+
+You can also apply standard Unix text manipulation filters to this
+data, e.g.
+
+nullarbor:~ # grep -i rdma <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control | wc -l
+62
+
+nullarbor:~ # grep -i tcp <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control | wc -l
+42
+
+Note in particular that the third column shows the enabled behaviour
+flags for each debug statement callsite (see below for definitions of the
+flags). The default value, no extra behaviour enabled, is "-". So
+you can view all the debug statement callsites with any non-default flags:
+
+nullarbor:~ # awk '$3 != "-"' <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
+# filename:lineno [module]function flags format
+/usr/src/packages/BUILD/sgi-enhancednfs-1.4/default/net/sunrpc/svcsock.c:1603 [sunrpc]svc_send p "svc_process: st_sendto returned %d\012"
+
+
+Command Language Reference
+==========================
+
+At the lexical level, a command comprises a sequence of words separated
+by whitespace characters. Note that newlines are treated as word
+separators and do *not* end a command or allow multiple commands to
+be done together. So these are all equivalent:
+
+nullarbor:~ # echo -c 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
+ <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
+nullarbor:~ # echo -c ' file svcsock.c line 1603 +p ' >
+ <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
+nullarbor:~ # echo -c 'file svcsock.c\nline 1603 +p' >
+ <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
+nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
+ <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
+
+Commands are bounded by a write() system call. If you want to do
+multiple commands you need to do a separate "echo" for each, like:
+
+nullarbor:~ # echo 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' > /proc/dprintk ;\
+> echo 'file svcsock.c line 1563 +p' > /proc/dprintk
+
+or even like:
+
+nullarbor:~ # (
+> echo 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' ;\
+> echo 'file svcsock.c line 1563 +p' ;\
+> ) > /proc/dprintk
+
+At the syntactical level, a command comprises a sequence of match
+specifications, followed by a flags change specification.
+
+command ::= match-spec* flags-spec
+
+The match-spec's are used to choose a subset of the known dprintk()
+callsites to which to apply the flags-spec. Think of them as a query
+with implicit ANDs between each pair. Note that an empty list of
+match-specs is possible, but is not very useful because it will not
+match any debug statement callsites.
+
+A match specification comprises a keyword, which controls the attribute
+of the callsite to be compared, and a value to compare against. Possible
+keywords are:
+
+match-spec ::= 'func' string |
+ 'file' string |
+ 'module' string |
+ 'format' string |
+ 'line' line-range
+
+line-range ::= lineno |
+ '-'lineno |
+ lineno'-' |
+ lineno'-'lineno
+// Note: line-range cannot contain space, e.g.
+// "1-30" is valid range but "1 - 30" is not.
+
+lineno ::= unsigned-int
+
+The meanings of each keyword are:
+
+func
+ The given string is compared against the function name
+ of each callsite. Example:
+
+ func svc_tcp_accept
+
+file
+ The given string is compared against either the full
+ pathname or the basename of the source file of each
+ callsite. Examples:
+
+ file svcsock.c
+ file /usr/src/packages/BUILD/sgi-enhancednfs-1.4/default/net/sunrpc/svcsock.c
+
+module
+ The given string is compared against the module name
+ of each callsite. The module name is the string as
+ seen in "lsmod", i.e. without the directory or the .ko
+ suffix and with '-' changed to '_'. Examples:
+
+ module sunrpc
+ module nfsd
+
+format
+ The given string is searched for in the dynamic debug format
+ string. Note that the string does not need to match the
+ entire format, only some part. Whitespace and other
+ special characters can be escaped using C octal character
+ escape \ooo notation, e.g. the space character is \040.
+ Alternatively, the string can be enclosed in double quote
+ characters (") or single quote characters (').
+ Examples:
+
+ format svcrdma: // many of the NFS/RDMA server dprintks
+ format readahead // some dprintks in the readahead cache
+ format nfsd:\040SETATTR // one way to match a format with whitespace
+ format "nfsd: SETATTR" // a neater way to match a format with whitespace
+ format 'nfsd: SETATTR' // yet another way to match a format with whitespace
+
+line
+ The given line number or range of line numbers is compared
+ against the line number of each dprintk() callsite. A single
+ line number matches the callsite line number exactly. A
+ range of line numbers matches any callsite between the first
+ and last line number inclusive. An empty first number means
+ the first line in the file, an empty line number means the
+ last number in the file. Examples:
+
+ line 1603 // exactly line 1603
+ line 1600-1605 // the six lines from line 1600 to line 1605
+ line -1605 // the 1605 lines from line 1 to line 1605
+ line 1600- // all lines from line 1600 to the end of the file
+
+The flags specification comprises a change operation followed
+by one or more flag characters. The change operation is one
+of the characters:
+
+-
+ remove the given flags
+
++
+ add the given flags
+
+=
+ set the flags to the given flags
+
+The flags are:
+
+p
+ Causes a printk() message to be emitted to dmesg
+
+Note the regexp ^[-+=][scp]+$ matches a flags specification.
+Note also that there is no convenient syntax to remove all
+the flags at once, you need to use "-psc".
+
+Examples
+========
+
+// enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
+nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
+ <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
+
+// enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
+nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >
+ <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
+
+// enable all the messages in the NFS server module
+nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
+ <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
+
+// enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
+nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process +p' >
+ <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
+
+// disable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
+nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process -p' >
+ <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
+
+// enable messages for NFS calls READ, READLINK, READDIR and READDIR+.
+nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'format "nfsd: READ" +p' >
+ <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

-Speed
-=====
-
-CyBlaFB is much faster than tridentfb and vesafb. Compare the performance data
-for mode 1280x1024-[8,16,32]@61 Hz.
-
-Test 1: Cat a file with 2000 lines of 0 characters.
-Test 2: Cat a file with 2000 lines of 80 characters.
-Test 3: Cat a file with 2000 lines of 160 characters.
-
-All values show system time use in seconds, kernel 2.6.12 was used for
-the measurements. 2.6.13 is a bit slower, 2.6.14 hopefully will include a
-patch that speeds up kernel bitblitting a lot ( > 20%).

-TODO / Missing features
-=======================
-
-Verify LCD stuff "stretch" and "center" options are
- completely untested ... this code needs to be
- verified. As I don't have access to such
- hardware, please contact me if you are
- willing run some tests.
-
-Interlaced video modes The reason that interleaved
- modes are disabled is that I do not know
- the meaning of the vertical interlace
- parameter. Also the datasheet mentions a
- bit d8 of a horizontal interlace parameter,
- but nowhere the lower 8 bits. Please help
- if you can.
-
-low-res double scan modes Who needs it?
-
-accelerated color blitting Who needs it? The console driver does use color
- blitting for nothing but drawing the penguine,
- everything else is done using color expanding
- blitting of 1bpp character bitmaps.
-
-ioctls Who needs it?
-
-TV-out Will be done later. Use "vga= " at boot time
- to set a suitable video mode.
-
-??? Feel free to contact me if you have any
- feature requests

-CyBlaFB is a framebuffer driver for the Cyberblade/i1 graphics core integrated
-into the VIA Apollo PLE133 (aka vt8601) south bridge. It is developed and
-tested using a VIA EPIA 5000 board.
-
-Cyblafb - compiled into the kernel or as a module?
-==================================================
-
-You might compile cyblafb either as a module or compile it permanently into the
-kernel.
-
-Unless you have a real reason to do so you should not compile both vesafb and
-cyblafb permanently into the kernel. It's possible and it helps during the
-developement cycle, but it's useless and will at least block some otherwise
-usefull memory for ordinary users.
-
-Selecting Modes
-===============
-
- Startup Mode
- ============
-
- First of all, you might use the "vga=???" boot parameter as it is
- documented in vesafb.txt and svga.txt. Cyblafb will detect the video
- mode selected and will use the geometry and timings found by
- inspecting the hardware registers.
-
- video=cyblafb vga=0x317
-
- Alternatively you might use a combination of the mode, ref and bpp
- parameters. If you compiled the driver into the kernel, add something
- like this to the kernel command line:
-
- video=cyblafb:1280x1024,bpp=16,ref=50 ...
-
- If you compiled the driver as a module, the same mode would be
- selected by the following command:
-
- modprobe cyblafb mode=1280x1024 bpp=16 ref=50 ...
-
- None of the modes possible to select as startup modes are affected by
- the problems described at the end of the next subsection.
-
- For all startup modes cyblafb chooses a virtual x resolution of 2048,
- the only exception is mode 1280x1024 in combination with 32 bpp. This
- allows ywrap scrolling for all those modes if rotation is 0 or 2, and
- also fast scrolling if rotation is 1 or 3. The default virtual y reso-
- lution is 4096 for bpp == 8, 2048 for bpp==16 and 1024 for bpp == 32,
- again with the only exception of 1280x1024 at 32 bpp.
-
- Please do set your video memory size to 8 Mb in the Bios setup. Other
- values will work, but performace is decreased for a lot of modes.
-
- Mode changes using fbset
- ========================
-
- You might use fbset to change the video mode, see "man fbset". Cyblafb
- generally does assume that you know what you are doing. But it does
- some checks, especially those that are needed to prevent you from
- damaging your hardware.
-
- - only 8, 16, 24 and 32 bpp video modes are accepted
- - interlaced video modes are not accepted
- - double scan video modes are not accepted
- - if a flat panel is found, cyblafb does not allow you
- to program a resolution higher than the physical
- resolution of the flat panel monitor
- - cyblafb does not allow vclk to exceed 230 MHz. As 32 bpp
- and (currently) 24 bit modes use a doubled vclk internally,
- the dotclock limit as seen by fbset is 115 MHz for those
- modes and 230 MHz for 8 and 16 bpp modes.
- - cyblafb will allow you to select very high resolutions as
- long as the hardware can be programmed to these modes. The
- documented limit 1600x1200 is not enforced, but don't expect
- perfect signal quality.
-
- Any request that violates the rules given above will be either changed
- to something the hardware supports or an error value will be returned.
-
- If you program a virtual y resolution higher than the hardware limit,
- cyblafb will silently decrease that value to the highest possible
- value. The same is true for a virtual x resolution that is not
- supported by the hardware. Cyblafb tries to adapt vyres first because
- vxres decides if ywrap scrolling is possible or not.
-
- Attempts to disable acceleration are ignored, I believe that this is
- safe.
-
- Some video modes that should work do not work as expected. If you use
- the standard fb.modes, fbset 640x480-60 will program that mode, but
- you will see a vertical area, about two characters wide, with only
- much darker characters than the other characters on the screen.
- Cyblafb does allow that mode to be set, as it does not violate the
- official specifications. It would need a lot of code to reliably sort
- out all invalid modes, playing around with the margin values will
- give a valid mode quickly. And if cyblafb would detect such an invalid
- mode, should it silently alter the requested values or should it
- report an error? Both options have some pros and cons. As stated
- above, none of the startup modes are affected, and if you set
- verbosity to 1 or higher, cyblafb will print the fbset command that
- would be needed to program that mode using fbset.
-
-
-Other Parameters
-================
-
-
-crt don't autodetect, assume monitor connected to
- standard VGA connector
-
-fp don't autodetect, assume flat panel display
- connected to flat panel monitor interface
-
-nativex inform driver about native x resolution of
- flat panel monitor connected to special
- interface (should be autodetected)
-
-stretch stretch image to adapt low resolution modes to
- higer resolutions of flat panel monitors
- connected to special interface
-
-center center image to adapt low resolution modes to
- higer resolutions of flat panel monitors
- connected to special interface
-
-memsize use if autodetected memsize is wrong ...
- should never be necessary
-
-nopcirr disable PCI read retry
-nopciwr disable PCI write retry
-nopcirb disable PCI read bursts
-nopciwb disable PCI write bursts
-
-bpp bpp for specified modes
- valid values: 8 || 16 || 24 || 32
-
-ref refresh rate for specified mode
- valid values: 50 <= ref <= 85
-
-mode 640x480 or 800x600 or 1024x768 or 1280x1024
- if not specified, the startup mode will be detected
- and used, so you might also use the vga=??? parameter
- described in vesafb.txt. If you do not specify a mode,
- bpp and ref parameters are ignored.
-
-verbosity 0 is the default, increase to at least 2 for every
- bug report!
-
-Development hints
-=================
-
-It's much faster do compile a module and to load the new version after
-unloading the old module than to compile a new kernel and to reboot. So if you
-try to work on cyblafb, it might be a good idea to use cyblafb as a module.
-In real life, fast often means dangerous, and that's also the case here. If
-you introduce a serious bug when cyblafb is compiled into the kernel, the
-kernel will lock or oops with a high probability before the file system is
-mounted, and the danger for your data is low. If you load a broken own version
-of cyblafb on a running system, the danger for the integrity of the file
-system is much higher as you might need a hard reset afterwards. Decide
-yourself.
-
-Module unloading, the vfb method
-================================
-
-If you want to unload/reload cyblafb using the virtual framebuffer, you need
-to enable vfb support in the kernel first. After that, load the modules as
-shown below:
-
- modprobe vfb vfb_enable=1
- modprobe fbcon
- modprobe cyblafb
- fbset -fb /dev/fb1 1280x1024-60 -vyres 2662
- con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty1
- ...
-
-If you now made some changes to cyblafb and want to reload it, you might do it
-as show below:
-
- con2fb /dev/fb0 /dev/tty1
- ...
- rmmod cyblafb
- modprobe cyblafb
- con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty1
- ...
-
-Of course, you might choose another mode, and most certainly you also want to
-map some other /dev/tty* to the real framebuffer device. You might also choose
-to compile fbcon as a kernel module or place it permanently in the kernel.
-
-I do not know of any way to unload fbcon, and fbcon will prevent the
-framebuffer device loaded first from unloading. [If there is a way, then
-please add a description here!]
-
-Module unloading, the vesafb method
-===================================
-
-Configure the kernel:
-
- <*> Support for frame buffer devices
- [*] VESA VGA graphics support
- <M> Cyberblade/i1 support
-
-Add e.g. "video=vesafb:ypan vga=0x307" to the kernel parameters. The ypan
-parameter is important, choose any vga parameter you like as long as it is
-a graphics mode.
-
-After booting, load cyblafb without any mode and bpp parameter and assign
-cyblafb to individual ttys using con2fb, e.g.:
-
- modprobe cyblafb
- con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty1
-
-Unloading cyblafb works without problems after you assign vesafb to all
-ttys again, e.g.:
-
- con2fb /dev/fb0 /dev/tty1
- rmmod cyblafb

-====
-
- - the vesafb parameter has been removed as I decided to allow the
- feature without any special parameter.
-
- - Cyblafb does not use the vga style of panning any longer, now the
- "right view" register in the graphics engine IO space is used. Without
- that change it was impossible to use all available memory, and without
- access to all available memory it is impossible to ywrap.
-
- - The imageblit function now uses hardware acceleration for all font
- widths. Hardware blitting across pixel column 2048 is broken in the
- cyberblade/i1 graphics core, but we work around that hardware bug.
-
- - modes with vxres != xres are supported now.
-
- - ywrap scrolling is supported now and the default. This is a big
- performance gain.
-
- - default video modes use vyres > yres and vxres > xres to allow
- almost optimal scrolling speed for normal and rotated screens
-
- - some features mainly usefull for debugging the upper layers of the
- framebuffer system have been added, have a look at the code
-
- - fixed: Oops after unloading cyblafb when reading /proc/io*
-
- - we work around some bugs of the higher framebuffer layers.

-I tried the following framebuffer drivers:
-
- - TRIDENTFB is full of bugs. Acceleration is broken for Blade3D
- graphics cores like the cyberblade/i1. It claims to support a great
- number of devices, but documentation for most of these devices is
- unfortunately not available. There is _no_ reason to use tridentfb
- for cyberblade/i1 + CRT users. VESAFB is faster, and the one
- advantage, mode switching, is broken in tridentfb.
-
- - VESAFB is used by many distributions as a standard. Vesafb does
- not support mode switching. VESAFB is a bit faster than the working
- configurations of TRIDENTFB, but it is still too slow, even if you
- use ypan.
-
- - EPIAFB (you'll find it on sourceforge) supports the Cyberblade/i1
- graphics core, but it still has serious bugs and developement seems
- to have stopped. This is the one driver with TV-out support. If you
- do need this feature, try epiafb.
-
-None of these drivers was a real option for me.
-
-I believe that is unreasonable to change code that announces to support 20
-devices if I only have more or less sufficient documentation for exactly one
-of these. The risk of breaking device foo while fixing device bar is too high.
-
-So I decided to start CyBlaFB as a stripped down tridentfb.
-
-All code specific to other Trident chips has been removed. After that there
-were a lot of cosmetic changes to increase the readability of the code. All
-register names were changed to those mnemonics used in the datasheet. Function
-and macro names were changed if they hindered easy understanding of the code.
-
-After that I debugged the code and implemented some new features. I'll try to
-give a little summary of the main changes:
-
- - calculation of vertical and horizontal timings was fixed
-
- - video signal quality has been improved dramatically
-
- - acceleration:
-
- - fillrect and copyarea were fixed and reenabled
-
- - color expanding imageblit was newly implemented, color
- imageblit (only used to draw the penguine) still uses the
- generic code.
-
- - init of the acceleration engine was improved and moved to a
- place where it really works ...
-
- - sync function has a timeout now and tries to reset and
- reinit the accel engine if necessary
-
- - fewer slow copyarea calls when doing ypan scrolling by using
- undocumented bit d21 of screen start address stored in
- CR2B[5]. BIOS does use it also, so this should be safe.
-
- - cyblafb rejects any attempt to set modes that would cause vclk
- values above reasonable 230 MHz. 32bit modes use a clock
- multiplicator of 2, so fbset does show the correct values for
- pixclock but not for vclk in this case. The fbset limit is 115 MHz
- for 32 bpp modes.
-
- - cyblafb rejects modes known to be broken or unimplemented (all
- interlaced modes, all doublescan modes for now)
-
- - cyblafb now works independant of the video mode in effect at startup
- time (tridentfb does not init all needed registers to reasonable
- values)
-
- - switching between video modes does work reliably now
-
- - the first video mode now is the one selected on startup using the
- vga=???? mechanism or any of
- - 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024
- - 8, 16, 24 or 32 bpp
- - refresh between 50 Hz and 85 Hz, 1 Hz steps (1280x1024-32
- is limited to 63Hz)
-
- - pci retry and pci burst mode are settable (try to disable if you
- experience latency problems)

- - built as a module cyblafb might be unloaded and reloaded using
- the vfb module and con2vt or might be used together with vesafb

-What: old static regulatory information and ieee80211_regdom module parameter
-When: 2.6.29
+What: The ieee80211_regdom module parameter
+When: March 2010 / desktop catchup
+
+Why: This was inherited by the CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY code,
+ and currently serves as an option for users to define an
+ ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 code for the country they are currently
+ present in. Although there are userspace API replacements for this
+ through nl80211 distributions haven't yet caught up with implementing
+ decent alternatives through standard GUIs. Although available as an
+ option through iw or wpa_supplicant its just a matter of time before
+ distributions pick up good GUI options for this. The ideal solution
+ would actually consist of intelligent designs which would do this for
+ the user automatically even when travelling through different countries.
+ Until then we leave this module parameter as a compromise.
+
+ When userspace improves with reasonable widely-available alternatives for
+ this we will no longer need this module parameter. This entry hopes that
+ by the super-futuristically looking date of "March 2010" we will have
+ such replacements widely available.

+What: CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY - old static regulatory information
+When: March 2010 / desktop catchup
+
Why: The old regulatory infrastructure has been replaced with a new one
which does not require statically defined regulatory domains. We do
not want to keep static regulatory domains in the kernel due to the
the dynamic nature of regulatory law and localization. We kept around
the old static definitions for the regulatory domains of:
+
* US
* JP
* EU
+
and used by default the US when CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY was
- set. We also kept around the ieee80211_regdom module parameter in case
- some applications were relying on it. Changing regulatory domains
- can now be done instead by using nl80211, as is done with iw.

+When: 2011
+Why: In 2.6.27, the semantics of /sys/bus/pci/slots was redefined to
+ represent a machine's physical PCI slots. The change in semantics
+ had userspace implications, as the hotplug core no longer allowed
+ drivers to create multiple sysfs files per physical slot (required
+ for multi-function devices, e.g.). fakephp was seen as a developer's
+ tool only, and its interface changed. Too late, we learned that
+ there were some users of the fakephp interface.
+
+ In 2.6.30, the original fakephp interface was restored. At the same
+ time, the PCI core gained the ability that fakephp provided, namely
+ function-level hot-remove and hot-add.
+
+ Since the PCI core now provides the same functionality, exposed in:
+
+ /sys/bus/pci/rescan
+ /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../remove
+ /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../rescan
+
+ there is no functional reason to maintain fakephp as well.
+
+ We will keep the existing module so that 'modprobe fakephp' will
+ present the old /sys/bus/pci/slots/... interface for compatibility,
+ but users are urged to migrate their applications to the API above.
+
+ After a reasonable transition period, we will remove the legacy

-High Accuracy Temperature Reading
----------------------------------
-
-As said before, the temperature issued via the 9-bit i2c-bus data is
-somewhat arbitrary. Internally, the temperature conversion is of a
-different kind that is explained (not so...) well in the DS1621 data sheet.
-To cut the long story short: Inside the DS1621 there are two oscillators,
-both of them biassed by a temperature coefficient.
-
-Higher resolution of the temperature reading can be achieved using the
-internal projection, which means taking account of REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE
-(the driver manages them):
-
-Taken from Dallas Semiconductors App Note 068: 'Increasing Temperature
-Resolution on the DS1620' and App Note 105: 'High Resolution Temperature
-Measurement with Dallas Direct-to-Digital Temperature Sensors'
-
-- Read the 9-bit temperature and strip the LSB (Truncate the .5 degs)
-- The resulting value is TEMP_READ.
-- Then, read REG_COUNT.
-- And then, REG_SLOPE.
-
- TEMP = TEMP_READ - 0.25 + ((REG_SLOPE - REG_COUNT) / REG_SLOPE)
-
-Note that this is what the DONE bit in the DS1621 configuration register is
-good for: Internally, one temperature conversion takes up to 1000ms. Before
-that conversion is complete you will not be able to read valid things out
-of REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE. The DONE bit, as you may have guessed by now,
-tells you whether the conversion is complete ("done", in plain English) and
-thus, whether the values you read are good or not.
-
-The DS1621 has two modes of operation: "Continuous" conversion, which can
-be understood as the default stand-alone mode where the chip gets the
-temperature and controls external devices via its Tout pin or tells other
-i2c's about it if they care. The other mode is called "1SHOT", that means
-that it only figures out about the temperature when it is explicitly told
-to do so; this can be seen as power saving mode.
-
-Now if you want to read REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE, you have to either stop
-the continuous conversions until the contents of these registers are valid,
-or, in 1SHOT mode, you have to have one conversion made.

+
+This driver does not probe for LTC4215 devices, due to the fact that some
+of the possible addresses are unfriendly to probing. You will need to use
+the "force" parameter to tell the driver where to find the device.
+
+Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4215 at address 0x44
+on I2C bus #0:
+$ modprobe ltc4215 force=0,0x44
+
+
+Sysfs entries
+-------------
+
+The LTC4215 has built-in limits for overvoltage, undervoltage, and
+undercurrent warnings. This makes it very likely that the reference
+circuit will be used.

+How to instantiate I2C devices
+==============================
+
+Unlike PCI or USB devices, I2C devices are not enumerated at the hardware
+level. Instead, the software must know which devices are connected on each
+I2C bus segment, and what address these devices are using. For this
+reason, the kernel code must instantiate I2C devices explicitly. There are
+several ways to achieve this, depending on the context and requirements.
+
+
+Method 1: Declare the I2C devices by bus number
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+This method is appropriate when the I2C bus is a system bus as is the case
+for many embedded systems. On such systems, each I2C bus has a number
+which is known in advance. It is thus possible to pre-declare the I2C
+devices which live on this bus. This is done with an array of struct
+i2c_board_info which is registered by calling i2c_register_board_info().
+
+Example (from omap2 h4):
+
+static struct i2c_board_info __initdata h4_i2c_board_info[] = {
+ {
+ I2C_BOARD_INFO("isp1301_omap", 0x2d),
+ .irq = OMAP_GPIO_IRQ(125),
+ },
+ { /* EEPROM on mainboard */
+ I2C_BOARD_INFO("24c01", 0x52),
+ .platform_data = &m24c01,
+ },
+ { /* EEPROM on cpu card */
+ I2C_BOARD_INFO("24c01", 0x57),
+ .platform_data = &m24c01,
+ },
+};
+
+static void __init omap_h4_init(void)
+{
+ (...)
+ i2c_register_board_info(1, h4_i2c_board_info,
+ ARRAY_SIZE(h4_i2c_board_info));
+ (...)
+}
+
+The above code declares 3 devices on I2C bus 1, including their respective
+addresses and custom data needed by their drivers. When the I2C bus in
+question is registered, the I2C devices will be instantiated automatically
+by i2c-core.
+
+The devices will be automatically unbound and destroyed when the I2C bus
+they sit on goes away (if ever.)
+
+
+Method 2: Instantiate the devices explicitly
+--------------------------------------------
+
+This method is appropriate when a larger device uses an I2C bus for
+internal communication. A typical case is TV adapters. These can have a
+tuner, a video decoder, an audio decoder, etc. usually connected to the
+main chip by the means of an I2C bus. You won't know the number of the I2C
+bus in advance, so the method 1 described above can't be used. Instead,
+you can instantiate your I2C devices explicitly. This is done by filling
+a struct i2c_board_info and calling i2c_new_device().
+
+Example (from the sfe4001 network driver):
+
+static struct i2c_board_info sfe4001_hwmon_info = {
+ I2C_BOARD_INFO("max6647", 0x4e),
+};
+
+int sfe4001_init(struct efx_nic *efx)
+{
+ (...)
+ efx->board_info.hwmon_client =
+ i2c_new_device(&efx->i2c_adap, &sfe4001_hwmon_info);
+
+ (...)
+}
+
+The above code instantiates 1 I2C device on the I2C bus which is on the
+network adapter in question.
+
+A variant of this is when you don't know for sure if an I2C device is
+present or not (for example for an optional feature which is not present
+on cheap variants of a board but you have no way to tell them apart), or
+it may have different addresses from one board to the next (manufacturer
+changing its design without notice). In this case, you can call
+i2c_new_probed_device() instead of i2c_new_device().
+
+Example (from the pnx4008 OHCI driver):
+
+static const unsigned short normal_i2c[] = { 0x2c, 0x2d, I2C_CLIENT_END };
+
+static int __devinit usb_hcd_pnx4008_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
+{
+ (...)
+ struct i2c_adapter *i2c_adap;
+ struct i2c_board_info i2c_info;
+
+ (...)
+ i2c_adap = i2c_get_adapter(2);
+ memset(&i2c_info, 0, sizeof(struct i2c_board_info));
+ strlcpy(i2c_info.name, "isp1301_pnx", I2C_NAME_SIZE);
+ isp1301_i2c_client = i2c_new_probed_device(i2c_adap, &i2c_info,
+ normal_i2c);
+ i2c_put_adapter(i2c_adap);
+ (...)
+}
+
+The above code instantiates up to 1 I2C device on the I2C bus which is on
+the OHCI adapter in question. It first tries at address 0x2c, if nothing
+is found there it tries address 0x2d, and if still nothing is found, it
+simply gives up.
+
+The driver which instantiated the I2C device is responsible for destroying
+it on cleanup. This is done by calling i2c_unregister_device() on the
+pointer that was earlier returned by i2c_new_device() or
+i2c_new_probed_device().
+
+
+Method 3: Probe an I2C bus for certain devices
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Sometimes you do not have enough information about an I2C device, not even
+to call i2c_new_probed_device(). The typical case is hardware monitoring
+chips on PC mainboards. There are several dozen models, which can live
+at 25 different addresses. Given the huge number of mainboards out there,
+it is next to impossible to build an exhaustive list of the hardware
+monitoring chips being used. Fortunately, most of these chips have
+manufacturer and device ID registers, so they can be identified by
+probing.
+
+In that case, I2C devices are neither declared nor instantiated
+explicitly. Instead, i2c-core will probe for such devices as soon as their
+drivers are loaded, and if any is found, an I2C device will be
+instantiated automatically. In order to prevent any misbehavior of this
+mechanism, the following restrictions apply:
+* The I2C device driver must implement the detect() method, which
+ identifies a supported device by reading from arbitrary registers.
+* Only buses which are likely to have a supported device and agree to be
+ probed, will be probed. For example this avoids probing for hardware
+ monitoring chips on a TV adapter.
+
+Example:
+See lm90_driver and lm90_detect() in drivers/hwmon/lm90.c
+
+I2C devices instantiated as a result of such a successful probe will be
+destroyed automatically when the driver which detected them is removed,
+or when the underlying I2C bus is itself destroyed, whichever happens
+first.
+
+Those of you familiar with the i2c subsystem of 2.4 kernels and early 2.6
+kernels will find out that this method 3 is essentially similar to what
+was done there. Two significant differences are:
+* Probing is only one way to instantiate I2C devices now, while it was the
+ only way back then. Where possible, methods 1 and 2 should be preferred.
+ Method 3 should only be used when there is no other way, as it can have
+ undesirable side effects.
+* I2C buses must now explicitly say which I2C driver classes can probe
+ them (by the means of the class bitfield), while all I2C buses were
+ probed by default back then. The default is an empty class which means
+ that no probing happens. The purpose of the class bitfield is to limit
+ the aforementioned undesirable side effects.
+
+Once again, method 3 should be avoided wherever possible. Explicit device
+instantiation (methods 1 and 2) is much preferred for it is safer and
+faster.

+Description
+-----------
+The ISL29003 is an integrated light sensor with a 16-bit integrating type
+ADC, I2C user programmable lux range select for optimized counts/lux, and
+I2C multi-function control and monitoring capabilities. The internal ADC
+provides 16-bit resolution while rejecting 50Hz and 60Hz flicker caused by
+artificial light sources.
+
+The driver allows to set the lux range, the bit resolution, the operational
+mode (see below) and the power state of device and can read the current lux
+value, of course.
+
+
+Detection
+---------
+
+The ISL29003 does not have an ID register which could be used to identify
+it, so the detection routine will just try to read from the configured I2C
+addess and consider the device to be present as soon as it ACKs the
+transfer.

+===============
+
+This file describes the ixgbe Linux Base Driver for the 10 Gigabit PCI
+Express Intel(R) Network Connection. This driver includes support for
+Itanium(R)2-based systems.
+
+For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
+supplied with your 10 Gigabit adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply
+to use with Linux.
+
+The following features are available in this kernel:
+ - Native VLANs
+ - Channel Bonding (teaming)
+ - SNMP
+ - Generic Receive Offload
+ - Data Center Bridging
+
+Channel Bonding documentation can be found in the Linux kernel source:
+/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt
+
+Ethtool, lspci, and ifconfig can be used to display device and driver
+specific information.
+
+
+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+
+This driver supports devices based on the 82598 controller and the 82599
+controller.
+
+For specific information on identifying which adapter you have, please visit:
+
+ http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-008441.htm
+
+
+Building and Installation
+=========================
+
+select m for "Intel(R) 10GbE PCI Express adapters support" located at:
+ Location:
+ -> Device Drivers
+ -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])
+ -> Ethernet (10000 Mbit) (NETDEV_10000 [=y])
+
+1. make modules & make modules_install
+
+2. Load the module:
+
+# modprobe ixgbe
+
+ The insmod command can be used if the full
+ path to the driver module is specified. For example:
+
+ insmod /lib/modules/<KERNEL VERSION>/kernel/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe.ko
+
+ With 2.6 based kernels also make sure that older ixgbe drivers are
+ removed from the kernel, before loading the new module:
+
+ rmmod ixgbe; modprobe ixgbe
+
+3. Assign an IP address to the interface by entering the following, where
+ x is the interface number:
+
+ ifconfig ethx <IP_address>
+
+4. Verify that the interface works. Enter the following, where <IP_address>
+ is the IP address for another machine on the same subnet as the interface
+ that is being tested:
+
+ ping <IP_address>
+
+
+Additional Configurations
+=========================
+
+ Viewing Link Messages
+ ---------------------
+ Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is
+ restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on
+ your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following:
+
+ dmesg -n 8
+
+ NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.
+
+
+ Jumbo Frames
+ ------------
+ The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is
+ enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than the default of 1500.
+ The maximum value for the MTU is 16110. Use the ifconfig command to
+ increase the MTU size. For example:
+
+ ifconfig ethx mtu 9000 up
+
+ The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 16110. This value coincides
+ with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 16128.
+
+ Generic Receive Offload, aka GRO
+ --------------------------------
+ The driver supports the in-kernel software implementation of GRO. GRO has
+ shown that by coalescing Rx traffic into larger chunks of data, CPU
+ utilization can be significantly reduced when under large Rx load. GRO is an
+ evolution of the previously-used LRO interface. GRO is able to coalesce
+ other protocols besides TCP. It's also safe to use with configurations that
+ are problematic for LRO, namely bridging and iSCSI.
+
+ GRO is enabled by default in the driver. Future versions of ethtool will
+ support disabling and re-enabling GRO on the fly.
+
+
+ Data Center Bridging, aka DCB
+ -----------------------------
+
+ DCB is a configuration Quality of Service implementation in hardware.
+ It uses the VLAN priority tag (802.1p) to filter traffic. That means
+ that there are 8 different priorities that traffic can be filtered into.
+ It also enables priority flow control which can limit or eliminate the
+ number of dropped packets during network stress. Bandwidth can be
+ allocated to each of these priorities, which is enforced at the hardware
+ level.
+
+ To enable DCB support in ixgbe, you must enable the DCB netlink layer to
+ allow the userspace tools (see below) to communicate with the driver.
+ This can be found in the kernel configuration here:
+
+ -> Networking support
+ -> Networking options
+ -> Data Center Bridging support
+
+ Once this is selected, DCB support must be selected for ixgbe. This can
+ be found here:
+
+ -> Device Drivers
+ -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])
+ -> Ethernet (10000 Mbit) (NETDEV_10000 [=y])
+ -> Intel(R) 10GbE PCI Express adapters support
+ -> Data Center Bridging (DCB) Support
+
+ After these options are selected, you must rebuild your kernel and your
+ modules.
+
+ In order to use DCB, userspace tools must be downloaded and installed.
+ The dcbd tools can be found at:
+
+ http://e1000.sf.net
+
+
+ Ethtool
+ -------
+ The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
+ diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. Ethtool
+ version 3.0 or later is required for this functionality.
+
+ The latest release of ethtool can be found from
+ http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel.
+
+
+ NAPI
+ ----
+
+ NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the ixgbe driver. NAPI is enabled
+ by default in the driver.
+
+ See www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/usenix-paper.tgz for more information on NAPI.

+Overview
+========
+
+This readme tries to provide some background on the hows and whys of RDS,
+and will hopefully help you find your way around the code.
+
+In addition, please see this email about RDS origins:
+http://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/rds-devel/2007-November/000228.html
+
+RDS Architecture
+================
+
+RDS provides reliable, ordered datagram delivery by using a single
+reliable connection between any two nodes in the cluster. This allows
+applications to use a single socket to talk to any other process in the
+cluster - so in a cluster with N processes you need N sockets, in contrast
+to N*N if you use a connection-oriented socket transport like TCP.
+
+RDS is not Infiniband-specific; it was designed to support different
+transports. The current implementation used to support RDS over TCP as well
+as IB. Work is in progress to support RDS over iWARP, and using DCE to
+guarantee no dropped packets on Ethernet, it may be possible to use RDS over
+UDP in the future.
+
+The high-level semantics of RDS from the application's point of view are
+
+ * Addressing
+ RDS uses IPv4 addresses and 16bit port numbers to identify
+ the end point of a connection. All socket operations that involve
+ passing addresses between kernel and user space generally
+ use a struct sockaddr_in.
+
+ The fact that IPv4 addresses are used does not mean the underlying
+ transport has to be IP-based. In fact, RDS over IB uses a
+ reliable IB connection; the IP address is used exclusively to
+ locate the remote node's GID (by ARPing for the given IP).
+
+ The port space is entirely independent of UDP, TCP or any other
+ protocol.
+
+ * Socket interface
+ RDS sockets work *mostly* as you would expect from a BSD
+ socket. The next section will cover the details. At any rate,
+ all I/O is performed through the standard BSD socket API.
+ Some additions like zerocopy support are implemented through
+ control messages, while other extensions use the getsockopt/
+ setsockopt calls.
+
+ Sockets must be bound before you can send or receive data.
+ This is needed because binding also selects a transport and
+ attaches it to the socket. Once bound, the transport assignment
+ does not change. RDS will tolerate IPs moving around (eg in
+ a active-active HA scenario), but only as long as the address
+ doesn't move to a different transport.
+
+ * sysctls
+ RDS supports a number of sysctls in /proc/sys/net/rds
+
+
+Socket Interface
+================
+
+ AF_RDS, PF_RDS, SOL_RDS
+ These constants haven't been assigned yet, because RDS isn't in
+ mainline yet. Currently, the kernel module assigns some constant
+ and publishes it to user space through two sysctl files
+ /proc/sys/net/rds/pf_rds
+ /proc/sys/net/rds/sol_rds
+
+ fd = socket(PF_RDS, SOCK_SEQPACKET, 0);
+ This creates a new, unbound RDS socket.
+
+ setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET): send and receive buffer size
+ RDS honors the send and receive buffer size socket options.
+ You are not allowed to queue more than SO_SNDSIZE bytes to
+ a socket. A message is queued when sendmsg is called, and
+ it leaves the queue when the remote system acknowledges
+ its arrival.
+
+ The SO_RCVSIZE option controls the maximum receive queue length.
+ This is a soft limit rather than a hard limit - RDS will
+ continue to accept and queue incoming messages, even if that
+ takes the queue length over the limit. However, it will also
+ mark the port as "congested" and send a congestion update to
+ the source node. The source node is supposed to throttle any
+ processes sending to this congested port.
+
+ bind(fd, &sockaddr_in, ...)
+ This binds the socket to a local IP address and port, and a
+ transport.
+
+ sendmsg(fd, ...)
+ Sends a message to the indicated recipient. The kernel will
+ transparently establish the underlying reliable connection
+ if it isn't up yet.
+
+ An attempt to send a message that exceeds SO_SNDSIZE will
+ return with -EMSGSIZE
+
+ An attempt to send a message that would take the total number
+ of queued bytes over the SO_SNDSIZE threshold will return
+ EAGAIN.
+
+ An attempt to send a message to a destination that is marked
+ as "congested" will return ENOBUFS.
+
+ recvmsg(fd, ...)
+ Receives a message that was queued to this socket. The sockets
+ recv queue accounting is adjusted, and if the queue length
+ drops below SO_SNDSIZE, the port is marked uncongested, and
+ a congestion update is sent to all peers.
+
+ Applications can ask the RDS kernel module to receive
+ notifications via control messages (for instance, there is a
+ notification when a congestion update arrived, or when a RDMA
+ operation completes). These notifications are received through
+ the msg.msg_control buffer of struct msghdr. The format of the
+ messages is described in manpages.
+
+ poll(fd)
+ RDS supports the poll interface to allow the application
+ to implement async I/O.
+
+ POLLIN handling is pretty straightforward. When there's an
+ incoming message queued to the socket, or a pending notification,
+ we signal POLLIN.
+
+ POLLOUT is a little harder. Since you can essentially send
+ to any destination, RDS will always signal POLLOUT as long as
+ there's room on the send queue (ie the number of bytes queued
+ is less than the sendbuf size).
+
+ However, the kernel will refuse to accept messages to
+ a destination marked congested - in this case you will loop
+ forever if you rely on poll to tell you what to do.
+ This isn't a trivial problem, but applications can deal with
+ this - by using congestion notifications, and by checking for
+ ENOBUFS errors returned by sendmsg.
+
+ setsockopt(SOL_RDS, RDS_CANCEL_SENT_TO, &sockaddr_in)
+ This allows the application to discard all messages queued to a
+ specific destination on this particular socket.
+
+ This allows the application to cancel outstanding messages if
+ it detects a timeout. For instance, if it tried to send a message,
+ and the remote host is unreachable, RDS will keep trying forever.
+ The application may decide it's not worth it, and cancel the
+ operation. In this case, it would use RDS_CANCEL_SENT_TO to
+ nuke any pending messages.

+
+RDS Protocol
+============
+
+ Message header
+
+ The message header is a 'struct rds_header' (see rds.h):
+ Fields:
+ h_sequence:
+ per-packet sequence number
+ h_ack:
+ piggybacked acknowledgment of last packet received
+ h_len:
+ length of data, not including header
+ h_sport:
+ source port
+ h_dport:
+ destination port
+ h_flags:
+ CONG_BITMAP - this is a congestion update bitmap
+ ACK_REQUIRED - receiver must ack this packet
+ RETRANSMITTED - packet has previously been sent
+ h_credit:
+ indicate to other end of connection that
+ it has more credits available (i.e. there is
+ more send room)
+ h_padding[4]:
+ unused, for future use
+ h_csum:
+ header checksum
+ h_exthdr:
+ optional data can be passed here. This is currently used for
+ passing RDMA-related information.
+
+ ACK and retransmit handling
+
+ One might think that with reliable IB connections you wouldn't need
+ to ack messages that have been received. The problem is that IB
+ hardware generates an ack message before it has DMAed the message
+ into memory. This creates a potential message loss if the HCA is
+ disabled for any reason between when it sends the ack and before
+ the message is DMAed and processed. This is only a potential issue
+ if another HCA is available for fail-over.
+
+ Sending an ack immediately would allow the sender to free the sent
+ message from their send queue quickly, but could cause excessive
+ traffic to be used for acks. RDS piggybacks acks on sent data
+ packets. Ack-only packets are reduced by only allowing one to be
+ in flight at a time, and by the sender only asking for acks when
+ its send buffers start to fill up. All retransmissions are also
+ acked.
+
+ Flow Control
+
+ RDS's IB transport uses a credit-based mechanism to verify that
+ there is space in the peer's receive buffers for more data. This
+ eliminates the need for hardware retries on the connection.
+
+ Congestion
+
+ Messages waiting in the receive queue on the receiving socket
+ are accounted against the sockets SO_RCVBUF option value. Only
+ the payload bytes in the message are accounted for. If the
+ number of bytes queued equals or exceeds rcvbuf then the socket
+ is congested. All sends attempted to this socket's address
+ should return block or return -EWOULDBLOCK.
+
+ Applications are expected to be reasonably tuned such that this
+ situation very rarely occurs. An application encountering this
+ "back-pressure" is considered a bug.
+
+ This is implemented by having each node maintain bitmaps which
+ indicate which ports on bound addresses are congested. As the
+ bitmap changes it is sent through all the connections which
+ terminate in the local address of the bitmap which changed.
+
+ The bitmaps are allocated as connections are brought up. This
+ avoids allocation in the interrupt handling path which queues
+ sages on sockets. The dense bitmaps let transports send the
+ entire bitmap on any bitmap change reasonably efficiently. This
+ is much easier to implement than some finer-grained
+ communication of per-port congestion. The sender does a very
+ inexpensive bit test to test if the port it's about to send to
+ is congested or not.
+
+
+RDS Transport Layer
+==================
+
+ As mentioned above, RDS is not IB-specific. Its code is divided
+ into a general RDS layer and a transport layer.
+
+ The general layer handles the socket API, congestion handling,
+ loopback, stats, usermem pinning, and the connection state machine.
+
+ The transport layer handles the details of the transport. The IB
+ transport, for example, handles all the queue pairs, work requests,
+ CM event handlers, and other Infiniband details.
+
+
+RDS Kernel Structures
+=====================
+
+ struct rds_message
+ aka possibly "rds_outgoing", the generic RDS layer copies data to
+ be sent and sets header fields as needed, based on the socket API.
+ This is then queued for the individual connection and sent by the
+ connection's transport.
+ struct rds_incoming
+ a generic struct referring to incoming data that can be handed from
+ the transport to the general code and queued by the general code
+ while the socket is awoken. It is then passed back to the transport
+ code to handle the actual copy-to-user.
+ struct rds_socket
+ per-socket information
+ struct rds_connection
+ per-connection information
+ struct rds_transport
+ pointers to transport-specific functions
+ struct rds_statistics
+ non-transport-specific statistics
+ struct rds_cong_map
+ wraps the raw congestion bitmap, contains rbnode, waitq, etc.
+
+Connection management
+=====================
+
+ Connections may be in UP, DOWN, CONNECTING, DISCONNECTING, and
+ ERROR states.
+
+ The first time an attempt is made by an RDS socket to send data to
+ a node, a connection is allocated and connected. That connection is
+ then maintained forever -- if there are transport errors, the
+ connection will be dropped and re-established.
+
+ Dropping a connection while packets are queued will cause queued or
+ partially-sent datagrams to be retransmitted when the connection is
+ re-established.
+
+
+The send path
+=============
+
+ rds_sendmsg()
+ struct rds_message built from incoming data
+ CMSGs parsed (e.g. RDMA ops)
+ transport connection alloced and connected if not already
+ rds_message placed on send queue
+ send worker awoken
+ rds_send_worker()
+ calls rds_send_xmit() until queue is empty
+ rds_send_xmit()
+ transmits congestion map if one is pending
+ may set ACK_REQUIRED
+ calls transport to send either non-RDMA or RDMA message
+ (RDMA ops never retransmitted)
+ rds_ib_xmit()
+ allocs work requests from send ring
+ adds any new send credits available to peer (h_credits)
+ maps the rds_message's sg list
+ piggybacks ack
+ populates work requests
+ post send to connection's queue pair
+
+The recv path
+=============
+
+ rds_ib_recv_cq_comp_handler()
+ looks at write completions
+ unmaps recv buffer from device
+ no errors, call rds_ib_process_recv()
+ refill recv ring
+ rds_ib_process_recv()
+ validate header checksum
+ copy header to rds_ib_incoming struct if start of a new datagram
+ add to ibinc's fraglist
+ if competed datagram:
+ update cong map if datagram was cong update
+ call rds_recv_incoming() otherwise
+ note if ack is required
+ rds_recv_incoming()
+ drop duplicate packets
+ respond to pings
+ find the sock associated with this datagram
+ add to sock queue
+ wake up sock
+ do some congestion calculations
+ rds_recvmsg
+ copy data into user iovec
+ handle CMSGs
+ return to application

+The existing interfaces for getting network packages time stamped are:
+
+* SO_TIMESTAMP
+ Generate time stamp for each incoming packet using the (not necessarily
+ monotonous!) system time. Result is returned via recv_msg() in a
+ control message as timeval (usec resolution).
+
+* SO_TIMESTAMPNS
+ Same time stamping mechanism as SO_TIMESTAMP, but returns result as
+ timespec (nsec resolution).
+
+* IP_MULTICAST_LOOP + SO_TIMESTAMP[NS]
+ Only for multicasts: approximate send time stamp by receiving the looped
+ packet and using its receive time stamp.
+
+The following interface complements the existing ones: receive time
+stamps can be generated and returned for arbitrary packets and much
+closer to the point where the packet is really sent. Time stamps can
+be generated in software (as before) or in hardware (if the hardware
+has such a feature).
+
+SO_TIMESTAMPING:
+
+Instructs the socket layer which kind of information is wanted. The
+parameter is an integer with some of the following bits set. Setting
+other bits is an error and doesn't change the current state.
+
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE: try to obtain send time stamp in hardware
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE: if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE is off or
+ fails, then do it in software
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_HARDWARE: return the original, unmodified time stamp
+ as generated by the hardware
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE: if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_HARDWARE is off or
+ fails, then do it in software
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE: return original raw hardware time stamp
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE: return hardware time stamp transformed to
+ the system time base
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE: return system time stamp generated in
+ software
+
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX/RX determine how time stamps are generated.
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW/SYS determine how they are reported in the
+following control message:
+ struct scm_timestamping {
+ struct timespec systime;
+ struct timespec hwtimetrans;
+ struct timespec hwtimeraw;
+ };
+
+recvmsg() can be used to get this control message for regular incoming
+packets. For send time stamps the outgoing packet is looped back to
+the socket's error queue with the send time stamp(s) attached. It can
+be received with recvmsg(flags=MSG_ERRQUEUE). The call returns the
+original outgoing packet data including all headers preprended down to
+and including the link layer, the scm_timestamping control message and
+a sock_extended_err control message with ee_errno==ENOMSG and
+ee_origin==SO_EE_ORIGIN_TIMESTAMPING. A socket with such a pending
+bounced packet is ready for reading as far as select() is concerned.
+If the outgoing packet has to be fragmented, then only the first
+fragment is time stamped and returned to the sending socket.
+
+All three values correspond to the same event in time, but were
+generated in different ways. Each of these values may be empty (= all
+zero), in which case no such value was available. If the application
+is not interested in some of these values, they can be left blank to
+avoid the potential overhead of calculating them.
+
+systime is the value of the system time at that moment. This
+corresponds to the value also returned via SO_TIMESTAMP[NS]. If the
+time stamp was generated by hardware, then this field is
+empty. Otherwise it is filled in if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE is
+set.
+
+hwtimeraw is the original hardware time stamp. Filled in if
+SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE is set. No assumptions about its
+relation to system time should be made.
+
+hwtimetrans is the hardware time stamp transformed so that it
+corresponds as good as possible to system time. This correlation is
+not perfect; as a consequence, sorting packets received via different
+NICs by their hwtimetrans may differ from the order in which they were
+received. hwtimetrans may be non-monotonic even for the same NIC.
+Filled in if SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE is set. Requires support
+by the network device and will be empty without that support.
+
+
+SIOCSHWTSTAMP:
+
+Hardware time stamping must also be initialized for each device driver
+that is expected to do hardware time stamping. The parameter is:
+
+struct hwtstamp_config {
+ int flags; /* no flags defined right now, must be zero */
+ int tx_type; /* HWTSTAMP_TX_* */
+ int rx_filter; /* HWTSTAMP_FILTER_* */
+};
+
+Desired behavior is passed into the kernel and to a specific device by
+calling ioctl(SIOCSHWTSTAMP) with a pointer to a struct ifreq whose
+ifr_data points to a struct hwtstamp_config. The tx_type and
+rx_filter are hints to the driver what it is expected to do. If
+the requested fine-grained filtering for incoming packets is not
+supported, the driver may time stamp more than just the requested types
+of packets.
+
+A driver which supports hardware time stamping shall update the struct
+with the actual, possibly more permissive configuration. If the
+requested packets cannot be time stamped, then nothing should be
+changed and ERANGE shall be returned (in contrast to EINVAL, which
+indicates that SIOCSHWTSTAMP is not supported at all).
+
+Only a processes with admin rights may change the configuration. User
+space is responsible to ensure that multiple processes don't interfere
+with each other and that the settings are reset.
+
+/* possible values for hwtstamp_config->tx_type */
+enum {
+ /*
+ * no outgoing packet will need hardware time stamping;
+ * should a packet arrive which asks for it, no hardware
+ * time stamping will be done
+ */
+ HWTSTAMP_TX_OFF,
+
+ /*
+ * enables hardware time stamping for outgoing packets;
+ * the sender of the packet decides which are to be
+ * time stamped by setting SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE
+ * before sending the packet
+ */
+ HWTSTAMP_TX_ON,
+};
+
+/* possible values for hwtstamp_config->rx_filter */

+ /* time stamp no incoming packet at all */

+ HWTSTAMP_FILTER_SOME,
+
+ /* PTP v1, UDP, any kind of event packet */
+ HWTSTAMP_FILTER_PTP_V1_L4_EVENT,
+
+ ...
+};
+
+
+DEVICE IMPLEMENTATION
+
+A driver which supports hardware time stamping must support the
+SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl. Time stamps for received packets must be stored
+in the skb with skb_hwtstamp_set().
+
+Time stamps for outgoing packets are to be generated as follows:
+- In hard_start_xmit(), check if skb_hwtstamp_check_tx_hardware()
+ returns non-zero. If yes, then the driver is expected
+ to do hardware time stamping.
+- If this is possible for the skb and requested, then declare
+ that the driver is doing the time stamping by calling
+ skb_hwtstamp_tx_in_progress(). A driver not supporting
+ hardware time stamping doesn't do that. A driver must never
+ touch sk_buff::tstamp! It is used to store how time stamping
+ for an outgoing packets is to be done.
+- As soon as the driver has sent the packet and/or obtained a
+ hardware time stamp for it, it passes the time stamp back by
+ calling skb_hwtstamp_tx() with the original skb, the raw
+ hardware time stamp and a handle to the device (necessary
+ to convert the hardware time stamp to system time). If obtaining
+ the hardware time stamp somehow fails, then the driver should
+ not fall back to software time stamping. The rationale is that
+ this would occur at a later time in the processing pipeline
+ than other software time stamping and therefore could lead
+ to unexpected deltas between time stamps.
+- If the driver did not call skb_hwtstamp_tx_in_progress(), then
+ dev_hard_start_xmit() checks whether software time stamping
+ is wanted as fallback and potentially generates the time stamp.

- Reference for various scheduler-related methods in the O(1) scheduler
- Robert Love <rml@tech9.net>, MontaVista Software
-
-
-Note most of these methods are local to kernel/sched.c - this is by design.
-The scheduler is meant to be self-contained and abstracted away. This document
-is primarily for understanding the scheduler, not interfacing to it. Some of
-the discussed interfaces, however, are general process/scheduling methods.
-They are typically defined in include/linux/sched.h.
-
-
-Main Scheduling Methods
------------------------
-
-void load_balance(runqueue_t *this_rq, int idle)
- Attempts to pull tasks from one cpu to another to balance cpu usage,
- if needed. This method is called explicitly if the runqueues are
- imbalanced or periodically by the timer tick. Prior to calling,
- the current runqueue must be locked and interrupts disabled.
-
-void schedule()
- The main scheduling function. Upon return, the highest priority
- process will be active.
-
-
-Locking
--------
-
-Each runqueue has its own lock, rq->lock. When multiple runqueues need
-to be locked, lock acquires must be ordered by ascending &runqueue value.
-
-A specific runqueue is locked via
-
- task_rq_lock(task_t pid, unsigned long *flags)
-
-which disables preemption, disables interrupts, and locks the runqueue pid is
-running on. Likewise,
-
- task_rq_unlock(task_t pid, unsigned long *flags)
-
-unlocks the runqueue pid is running on, restores interrupts to their previous
-state, and reenables preemption.
-
-The routines
-
- double_rq_lock(runqueue_t *rq1, runqueue_t *rq2)
-
-and
-
- double_rq_unlock(runqueue_t *rq1, runqueue_t *rq2)
-
-safely lock and unlock, respectively, the two specified runqueues. They do
-not, however, disable and restore interrupts. Users are required to do so
-manually before and after calls.
-
-
-Values
-------
-
-MAX_PRIO
- The maximum priority of the system, stored in the task as task->prio.
- Lower priorities are higher. Normal (non-RT) priorities range from
- MAX_RT_PRIO to (MAX_PRIO - 1).
-MAX_RT_PRIO
- The maximum real-time priority of the system. Valid RT priorities
- range from 0 to (MAX_RT_PRIO - 1).
-MAX_USER_RT_PRIO
- The maximum real-time priority that is exported to user-space. Should
- always be equal to or less than MAX_RT_PRIO. Setting it less allows
- kernel threads to have higher priorities than any user-space task.
-MIN_TIMESLICE
-MAX_TIMESLICE
- Respectively, the minimum and maximum timeslices (quanta) of a process.
-
-Data
-----
-
-struct runqueue
- The main per-CPU runqueue data structure.
-struct task_struct
- The main per-process data structure.
-
-
-General Methods
----------------
-
-cpu_rq(cpu)
- Returns the runqueue of the specified cpu.
-this_rq()
- Returns the runqueue of the current cpu.
-task_rq(pid)
- Returns the runqueue which holds the specified pid.
-cpu_curr(cpu)
- Returns the task currently running on the given cpu.
-rt_task(pid)
- Returns true if pid is real-time, false if not.
-
-
-Process Control Methods
------------------------
-
-void set_user_nice(task_t *p, long nice)
- Sets the "nice" value of task p to the given value.
-int setscheduler(pid_t pid, int policy, struct sched_param *param)
- Sets the scheduling policy and parameters for the given pid.
-int set_cpus_allowed(task_t *p, unsigned long new_mask)

+The OSD Standard
+================
+OSD (Object-Based Storage Device) is a T10 SCSI command set that is designed
+to provide efficient operation of input/output logical units that manage the
+allocation, placement, and accessing of variable-size data-storage containers,
+called objects. Objects are intended to contain operating system and application
+constructs. Each object has associated attributes attached to it, which are
+integral part of the object and provide metadata about the object. The standard
+defines some common obligatory attributes, but user attributes can be added as
+needed.
+
+See: http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/drafts/osd2/ for the latest draft for OSD 2
+or search the web for "OSD SCSI"
+
+OSD in the Linux Kernel
+=======================
+osd-initiator:
+ The main component of OSD in Kernel is the osd-initiator library. Its main
+user is intended to be the pNFS-over-objects layout driver, which uses objects
+as its back-end data storage. Other clients are the other osd parts listed below.
+
+osd-uld:
+ This is a SCSI ULD that registers for OSD type devices and provides a testing
+platform, both for the in-kernel initiator as well as connected targets. It
+currently has no useful user-mode API, though it could have if need be.
+
+exofs:
+ Is an OSD based Linux file system. It uses the osd-initiator and osd-uld,
+to export a usable file system for users.
+See Documentation/filesystems/exofs.txt for more details
+
+osd target:
+ There are no current plans for an OSD target implementation in kernel. For all
+needs, a user-mode target that is based on the scsi tgt target framework is
+available from Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) at:
+http://www.open-osd.org/bin/view/Main/OscOsdProject
+There are several other target implementations. See http://open-osd.org for more
+links.

+
+The OSD-Initiator Library
+=========================
+osd_initiator is a low level implementation of an osd initiator encoder.
+But even though, it should be intuitive and easy to use. Perhaps over time an
+higher lever will form that automates some of the more common recipes.
+
+init/fini:
+- osd_dev_init() associates a scsi_device with an osd_dev structure
+ and initializes some global pools. This should be done once per scsi_device
+ (OSD LUN). The osd_dev structure is needed for calling osd_start_request().
+
+- osd_dev_fini() cleans up before a osd_dev/scsi_device destruction.
+
+OSD commands encoding, execution, and decoding of results:
+
+struct osd_request's is used to iteratively encode an OSD command and carry
+its state throughout execution. Each request goes through these stages:
+
+a. osd_start_request() allocates the request.
+
+b. Any of the osd_req_* methods is used to encode a request of the specified
+ type.
+
+c. osd_req_add_{get,set}_attr_* may be called to add get/set attributes to the
+ CDB. "List" or "Page" mode can be used exclusively. The attribute-list API
+ can be called multiple times on the same request. However, only one
+ attribute-page can be read, as mandated by the OSD standard.
+
+d. osd_finalize_request() computes offsets into the data-in and data-out buffers
+ and signs the request using the provided capability key and integrity-
+ check parameters.
+
+e. osd_execute_request() may be called to execute the request via the block
+ layer and wait for its completion. The request can be executed
+ asynchronously by calling the block layer API directly.
+
+f. After execution, osd_req_decode_sense() can be called to decode the request's
+ sense information.
+
+g. osd_req_decode_get_attr() may be called to retrieve osd_add_get_attr_list()
+ values.
+
+h. osd_end_request() must be called to deallocate the request and any resource
+ associated with it. Note that osd_end_request cleans up the request at any
+ stage and it must always be called after a successful osd_start_request().
+
+osd_request's structure:
+
+The OSD standard defines a complex structure of IO segments pointed to by
+members in the CDB. Up to 3 segments can be deployed in the IN-Buffer and up to
+4 in the OUT-Buffer. The ASCII illustration below depicts a secure-read with
+associated get+set of attributes-lists. Other combinations very on the same
+basic theme. From no-segments-used up to all-segments-used.

+
+A block device request can carry bidirectional payload by means of associating
+a bidi_read request with a main write-request. Each in/out request is described
+by a chain of BIOs associated with each request.
+The CDB is of a SCSI VARLEN CDB format, as described by OSD standard.
+The OSD standard also mandates alignment restrictions at start of each segment.
+
+In the code, in struct osd_request, there are two _osd_io_info structures to
+describe the IN/OUT buffers above, two BIOs for the data payload and up to five
+_osd_req_data_segment structures to hold the different segments allocation and
+information.
+
+Important: We have chosen to disregard the assumption that a BIO-chain (and
+the resulting sg-list) describes a linear memory buffer. Meaning only first and
+last scatter chain can be incomplete and all the middle chains are of PAGE_SIZE.
+For us, a scatter-gather-list, as its name implies and as used by the Networking
+layer, is to describe a vector of buffers that will be transferred to/from the
+wire. It works very well with current iSCSI transport. iSCSI is currently the
+only deployed OSD transport. In the future we anticipate SAS and FC attached OSD
+devices as well.
+
+The OSD Testing ULD
+===================
+TODO: More user-mode control on tests.

+or not.

+video buffer helper functions
+-----------------------------
+
+The v4l2 core API provides a standard method for dealing with video
+buffers. Those methods allow a driver to implement read(), mmap() and
+overlay() on a consistent way.
+
+There are currently methods for using video buffers on devices that
+supports DMA with scatter/gather method (videobuf-dma-sg), DMA with
+linear access (videobuf-dma-contig), and vmalloced buffers, mostly
+used on USB drivers (videobuf-vmalloc).
+
+Any driver using videobuf should provide operations (callbacks) for
+four handlers:
+
+ops->buf_setup - calculates the size of the video buffers and avoid they
+ to waste more than some maximum limit of RAM;
+ops->buf_prepare - fills the video buffer structs and calls
+ videobuf_iolock() to alloc and prepare mmaped memory;
+ops->buf_queue - advices the driver that another buffer were
+ requested (by read() or by QBUF);
+ops->buf_release - frees any buffer that were allocated.
+
+In order to use it, the driver need to have a code (generally called at
+interrupt context) that will properly handle the buffer request lists,
+announcing that a new buffer were filled.
+
+The irq handling code should handle the videobuf task lists, in order
+to advice videobuf that a new frame were filled, in order to honor to a
+request. The code is generally like this one:
+ if (list_empty(&dma_q->active))
+ return;
+
+ buf = list_entry(dma_q->active.next, struct vbuffer, vb.queue);
+
+ if (!waitqueue_active(&buf->vb.done))
+ return;
+
+ /* Some logic to handle the buf may be needed here */
+
+ list_del(&buf->vb.queue);
+ do_gettimeofday(&buf->vb.ts);
+ wake_up(&buf->vb.done);
+
+Those are the videobuffer functions used on drivers, implemented on
+videobuf-core:
+
+- Videobuf init functions
+ videobuf_queue_sg_init()
+ Initializes the videobuf infrastructure. This function should be
+ called before any other videobuf function on drivers that uses DMA
+ Scatter/Gather buffers.
+
+ videobuf_queue_dma_contig_init
+ Initializes the videobuf infrastructure. This function should be
+ called before any other videobuf function on drivers that need DMA
+ contiguous buffers.
+
+ videobuf_queue_vmalloc_init()
+ Initializes the videobuf infrastructure. This function should be
+ called before any other videobuf function on USB (and other drivers)
+ that need a vmalloced type of videobuf.
+
+- videobuf_iolock()
+ Prepares the videobuf memory for the proper method (read, mmap, overlay).
+
+- videobuf_queue_is_busy()
+ Checks if a videobuf is streaming.
+
+- videobuf_queue_cancel()
+ Stops video handling.
+
+- videobuf_mmap_free()
+ frees mmap buffers.
+
+- videobuf_stop()
+ Stops video handling, ends mmap and frees mmap and other buffers.
+
+- V4L2 api functions. Those functions correspond to VIDIOC_foo ioctls:
+ videobuf_reqbufs(), videobuf_querybuf(), videobuf_qbuf(),
+ videobuf_dqbuf(), videobuf_streamon(), videobuf_streamoff().
+
+- V4L1 api function (corresponds to VIDIOCMBUF ioctl):
+ videobuf_cgmbuf()
+ This function is used to provide backward compatibility with V4L1
+ API.
+
+- Some help functions for read()/poll() operations:
+ videobuf_read_stream()
+ For continuous stream read()
+ videobuf_read_one()
+ For snapshot read()
+ videobuf_poll_stream()
+ polling help function
+
+The better way to understand it is to take a look at vivi driver. One
+of the main reasons for vivi is to be a videobuf usage example. the
+vivi_thread_tick() does the task that the IRQ callback would do on PCI
+drivers (or the irq callback on USB).
